Derek Walter’s life took a dramatic turn when his then partner, Steve Jenkins brought home a tiny little pig named Esther. Derek talks to Anitha about how this small being created huge and wonderful changes in his life.Derek quickly fell in love with Esther, became one of her two dads, moved from a suburb to the country so Esther could have all the space a pig needed, welcomed even more farm animals, and eventually co-founded Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary (HEEFS)This is an incredible conversation about love, family, community, grief, and an unbelievable legacy. To learn more about Derek and HEEFS, please check out these links: Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary http://www.happilyeveresther.ca  Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/happilyeveresther?mibextid=LQQJ4d Derek’s personal websitewww.derekwalter.ca Derek’s personal Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/EsthersDadDerek?mibextid=LQQJ4d Esther the Wonder Pig Websitewww.estherthewonderpig.comAs a thank you to Derek for sharing his story, Anitha donated to HEEFS.
