On a struggling farm somewhere in America, Tom and Tina (with the help of Tim, their hired hand) fight to hold onto everything have – namely, a herd of fifteen thousand restless pigs.  Dumping sludge into the river has driven Tom to drink, and Tim seems to have caught Tina's eye, but when Teddy, an officer of the Environmental Protection Agency arrives to inspect the operation, life on the farm explodes, implodes, then explodes again.  Pig Farm is an absurdist, darkly comic exploration of industrial food production, the federal government, mythic portrayals of American hero-types, and pigs.
