Esther the Wonder Pig: Changing the World One Heart at a Time

In the summertime of 2012, Steve Jenkins was once contacted by an old friend about adopting a micro piglet. Though he knew his partner Derek wouldn’t be enthusiastic, he agreed to take the adorable little pig anyway, thinking he could maintain her himself. Little did he know, that decision would change his and Derek’s lives perpetually.

It turned in the market was once nothing “micro” about Esther, and Steve and Derek had in truth signed on to raise a full-sized commercial pig. Within three years, Tiny Esther grew to a whopping 600 pounds. After some real growing pains and a large number of pig-sized messes, it became clear that Esther needed a lot more space, so Steve and Derek made another life-changing decision: they bought a farm and opened the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, where they could maintain Esther and other animals in need.

Funny, heartwarming, and utterly charming, ESTHER THE WONDER PIG follows Steve and Derek’s adventure–from reluctant pig parents to farm-owning advocates for animals.
