iving communities, libraries, and more! In the long term, Hog Haven Farm aims to:

Yesterday, we received an epic delivery of items off of our Amazon wishlist! The piggies got special snacks after breakfast today—we are so grateful for donations like this 🥰

We update our wishlist seasonally, or as different needs arise. If you’d like to check it out, the link is ⬇️ Big thanks to our donors who help us take care of the pigs!

It was an awesome, incredibly productive day today—we tackled fully insulating the shed that ten piggies live in, and then putting away 2 pallets of feed and adding fresh straw when we were done.

The insulation will really help keep the shed warm this winter (and cool on hot days). It’s been a project we’ve long wanted to accomplish, and it feels good to finally have it finished!

A BIG shoutout to Valerie, Heidi, and Jeremy for coming out and working really hard to get this project done. You all are the best and we’re so grateful 🫶🏻

Food lady forgot to chain a gate today (after pigs were naughty and broke a fence 🤦🏼‍♀️), so of course Louisa took full advantage and let herself out. At least she’s cute, and she helped with some cleanup of pesky weeds!

Valkyrie 🥰

We call this pretty gal “the littlest hooligan,” but that nickname doesn’t really fit anymore. She’s the second largest pig at HHF, weighing approximately 850lbs (of pure cuteness and love). She’s been at our rescue since 2018, when she was a wee piglet, and has grown up knowing only love, friendship, and great care.

Last week, we posted asking for y’all to guess the combined weight of all the pigs at HHF…the approximate total is 29,915 pounds. Did you know we go through a literal ton of feed every 8 days to keep all these babes fed?

Happy Tuesday from the happiest pig on the planet—Morty! 🥰

We’ve gotten a lot of new followers this past week, so I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself and our mission!

My name is Erin and I am the founder and executive director of HHF. My husband, Andrew, and I started the rescue together in 2014 🫶🏻 I am the only full time caretaker for the pigs—we are currently home to 132 rescues, as well as some long term boarding pigs. We also provide sanctuary to donkeys, a mustang, a goat, a sheep, two doggos and a handful of kitties. I have been vegan since 2013, and believe in creating a more compassionate world where animals are all treated as someone, not something—they are here with us, not for us.

Hog Haven Farm was founded in the face of a growing need of safe placement for pigs, and a major gap in animal rescue. As a nonprofit organization, we strive to provide a safe, happy home for potbellied pigs that are rescued from situations of abandonment, abuse, or neglect. We help potbellied pigs find forever homes; offer sanctuary to both potbellied and standard breeds of pigs; and provide educational support to current & future pig owners as well as the general public.

Thank you for following along on our journey & for caring about piggies!

Holy smokes…the hooligans are 8 years old today! 🥳

These last 8 years have simply flown by. Journey had a “whoops” litter in 2017, fathered by Dug; we are happy to report that afterwards, we changed our protocols for how we pen intact pigs, and have closed every single year with a 100% spay and neuter rate!

The hooligans—also known as Beetlejuice, Infinity, Maple, Prince and Timon—celebrated their birthday with a cupcake party. It’s been a pleasure watching these babes grow up, and they bring a lot of laughs, smiles, and challenges our way 🩷

Eleven very much enjoyed some grazing out of her pen this morning! Her bff, Kevin, was in need of a hoof trim, so we let his friends out to keep everyone safe during the trim. He got to enjoy some grazing once he was done 🩷

The rough life of a house pig, forced to spend her days outside 😂 Pua has befriended Daisy Duke, and we catch them laying next to each other almost every day—but we can’t get proof, because Daisy always gets up when the camera comes around! It’s nice to see new friendships form 🩷

Our friends at inspired us to make a post about the collective weight of all of our pig friends—we would love to hear your best guess!

What do you think the approximate total weight of all 132 pig pals at HHF is? To help a little bit, we have 21 large pigs (more than 450lbs), and 12 mid-sized pigs (ranging from 300-450lbs). The rest of our 99 pigs are potbellies. The largest potbelly is ~250lbs, the smallest (not an adult) is ~50lbs ☺️

Drop your guess ⬇️

Greta and Hazel (and Mama Kitty): two cute gals who are the very best of friends! Both have lived at HHF since 2018, and bonded to one another almost immediately.

While Greta has some mobility issues (due to a genetic defect in her leg), she’s doing pretty well, especially with supplements, arthritis meds, and special therapies. Dr. Ali will be here in a few days for Greta and a few others, and we know these visits always provide welcome relief to the piggies 🫶🏻

Happy 15th birthday to Mama!

This beautiful gal was rescued ten years ago, which is really hard to believe 🤯 She has always been on the more timid side, but these last few years has warmed up to human interaction. While Mama doesn’t enjoy being touched, she does accept treats from human hands.

Mama had a “whoops” litter in 2017, and that was the year we changed our protocols and took major strides to spay every single female. Since that time, we have had a 100% spay and neuter rate! She still lives with her kiddos—Jasper, Patty, Skooter and Trinity 🩷

Our Story

It all started with a little Pipsqueak...

In 2014, founders Erin and Andrew adopted a little potbellied pig from a Craigslist ad--and the rest, you can say, is history! This little pig changed their lives, and inspired them to start Hog Haven Farm. In five years, more than 275 pigs have been rescued, and more than 100 have found their forever families! Hog Haven Farm rescues all breeds of pig, though most are abandoned, abused or neglected potbellies, once purchased as pets. Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and highly personable beings; those who cannot be adopted as pets live out their natural lives at Hog Haven Farm!

Our mission is to provide a safe environment for potbellied pigs that are rescued from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. HHF strives to promote compassion for all animals, and to allow these animals to live happy lives without fear and suffering. We currently offer therapy pet programs across the Denver metro area, and our list includes memory care facilities, nursing homes, assisted living communities, libraries, and more! In the long term, Hog Haven Farm aims to: • Promote potbellied pigs as the third recognized domesticated animal and pet by providing education and resources to the general public • Provide a safe home for rescued pigs to call home; a place for rehabilitation; and a welcoming environment for the community to become better acquainted with animals associated with food • Educate the community about potbelly pigs as creatures and pets • Educate the community about farm animals through volunteer programs, organization visits to the farm (schools, etc.), and allow community to work directly with the animals to learn more about them • Educate the community about sustainable food options; farm animals are more than dinner, and educational programs are paramount in creating change within the food industry • Create outreach program for children with autism (research strongly suggests that animals increase positive social behaviors with children that have ASD)
