    Pigs & Pennies: Brigitte Franzen

    Pigs & Pennies: Brigitte Franzen

    Brigitte Franzen left Germany for a farm internship in Illinois, never expecting to stay. Yet, the bonds she formed and her love for American life led her to build her own farm, housing 5000 pigs. However, in 1998, the rise of mega hog farms forced her to close her doors forever. Undaunted, she pivoted to become a financial planner, drawing on her farming experiences to aid others. Amidst the pandemic, she penned "Have Pigs, Will Travel," sharing tales of her life, including pig deliveries across the US. Our conversation explores her writing journey, the challenges of publishing, her advocacy for balance, her non-vegan stance, and the heartbreaking loss of her farm, offering compelling reasons to dive into her book.
