In the summer I live in the Finger Lakes. Lots of Mennonite farms up there, some are pig farms. Exactly as you describe, there were instances of people moving from Downstate, to enjoy the bucolic splendor. Much to their surprise, that includes the smell of pig ****.
When I bought my lake house I had to sign a piece of paper that explained that this is farm country and I would smell it on occasion.
It grosses my wife out, but whenever she complains I tell her "that's the beautiful smell of 99cent/lb pork shoulder!"...of course, she doesn't really like pork shoulder, but I do.
