Pig farmer? Neither Dawn Larson nor her husband Nick grew up
in that world, so it may be surprising that this Fort Benton couple
operates a small, 54-acre farm in Loma, Montana. Talk with Dawn a
while, though, and it all makes sense.
Running her Benton Physical erapy practice is a full-time
commitment. And this is no small-town operation. Dawn does
trigger-point dry needling, as well as cold laser, radial pulse, and
frequency specific micro-current therapy—all of which require
specialized equipment and training.
"You have to be more diversified in a small town," Dawn says, adding
that her patients range in age from 4 to over 80, and their afflictions
vary as well.
When her oldest son, now 14, was diagnosed with autism at age 3,
Dawn sought solutions. "When he was 6, I started leaning toward
non-GMOs and organic food." He's also had trouble with milk and
wheat. "We definitely see a difference when he goes off the diet,"
Dawn says. "He has trouble focusing, can be in a haze; on organics,
he's sharp."
Dawn Larson tends to her 300-pound pig at Faltree Farm.
The Larsons are "breeding and fattening up"
Berkshire and Tamworth pigs, says Dawn.
