Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary

Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary (HEEFS) was founded in 2014 and is located in the GTA in Ontario, Canada. Our mission is simple: to rescue abused, neglected, and abandoned farmed animals;

provide a safe, life-long home for all our sanctuary residents; educate the public about the true nature of farmed animals; and promote the health and well-being of farmed animals everywhere.

Inspired by the love of Esther the Wonder Pig and rooted in the belief that every living being deserves respect and care, we strive to create a harmonious environment where animals can thrive, form bonds, experience freedom, and embrace the joy that comes with a second chance at life.

Through our work, we aim to help the public understand that each farmed animal is a unique being with individual needs, and to promote a more humane world. Join us in our mission to create a world where every being can live happily ever after.
