Every nine months, rural Kentucky regenerative farmer Willie Huston brings home a small group of piglets. He raises them, names them, cares for them, and then says goodbye. This is Willie's calling — the land needs animals, the land needs a break from them, and the pigs feed his family and friends — but the pigs trust him, and that trust follows him into his nightmares.

Willie & His Pigs is about grief, joy, and bacon: what it really looks like to be a farmer, who bears the emotional weight of raising animals ethically — and whether Willie can keep carrying it.
