What began with one pig changed everything.

When Gilbert came into our lives, he wasn’t meant to start a movement. He was simply a pig who needed a home. But through school visits, birthday parties, community programs, and pig yoga events across New England, we saw something powerful happen again and again. People didn’t just meet a pig. They connected. They learned. They asked questions. They saw pigs differently. Over time, those small moments added up to something much larger than we ever expected.

As the years passed, more pigs joined our family, many of them rescued or unwanted. Each one came with a story, and each one reminded us of something important: there are far more pigs in need than there are safe, permanent homes. What started with a single pig slowly grew into something more than events and experiences. Gilbert the Party Pig became a mission to change perceptions, educate responsibly, and provide lifelong care for pigs who might otherwise have nowhere to go.

Now we are ready for the next chapter. The Gilbert Forever Sanctuary Farm will be a permanent home in New England where rescued pigs can live safely and peacefully, while still allowing our community to learn, visit, and experience them in meaningful ways.

This is not just a farm. It is a promise. A promise that the pigs who give so much joy will always have a secure place to call home. A promise that rescue and education can exist together. A promise that what started small can grow into something lasting.

Your support helps us secure land for the sanctuary, build safe shelter and fencing, expand our rescue capacity, create educational programming rooted in compassion, and provide lifelong care for every pig who comes through our gates.

This is Phase One of building something permanent, a place where pigs are not temporary attractions but forever protected. With your help, we can turn a traveling mission into a lasting sanctuary.

Welcome to the beginning of The Gilbert Forever Sanctuary Farm.
