Esther the Wonder Pig: A Journey from Micro Piglet to Farm Sanctuary Hero

We try to do it in a very relatable way, and it was all about falling in love with her for who she is and then kind of realizing what she is and that changing our opinion.
Imagine adopting a tiny piglet only to discover she’s destined to grow into a 600-pound giant. That’s exactly what happened to Steve Jenkins and his partner Derek Walter. In this heartwarming episode of 'Live Natural Live Well', Heather Lounsbury chats with Steve about their unexpected adventure with Esther the Wonder Pig. Initially thinking they were getting a micro piglet, Steve and Derek soon realized Esther was anything but small.
As Esther grew, so did their commitment to her well-being, leading them to create the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary. This sanctuary not only became a haven for Esther but also for many other animals in need. Steve shares the ups and downs of raising a full-sized pig, from the logistical challenges to the emotional rewards. He also touches on how Esther's story has inspired many to reconsider their dietary choices and embrace veganism.
With a mix of humor and heartfelt moments, this episode sheds light on the intelligence and emotional depth of animals, making you think twice about what's on your plate. If you’re looking for an inspiring tale of love, compassion, and personal growth, this episode is a must-listen.
