Welcome to our Big Pig Page
At Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary, we are proud to provide a safe and loving home to many large breed pigs, lovingly referred to as our "Big Pig" residents. These remarkable pigs have been rescued from the horrors of pig farming, where they were subjected to cruel conditions, forced breeding, and the brutal realities of the pork industry. Our sanctuary offers a peaceful and dignified life for these intelligent, social animals, ensuring they receive the care and respect they deserve.
​
Large breed pigs, often exploited for their size and reproductive capabilities, are frequently subjected to inhumane treatment. In the pork industry, these animals endure overcrowded living conditions, lack of proper veterinary care, and early slaughter. The exploitation of pigs for breeding and meat production is a deeply troubling practice that disregards their complex emotional and physical needs. At Outsiders, we aim to provide an alternative to this grim reality by offering a lifelong sanctuary where they can experience the joys of a natural, stress-free life.
​​
Providing sanctuary for large breed pigs goes beyond offering space; it requires specialized care. These animals have unique needs, especially as they age. Due to their size and physical structure, they require a carefully balanced diet that supports their health and longevity. Additionally, as they grow older, many large breed pigs face health challenges, such as joint issues, obesity, and specific dietary requirements. At Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary, we prioritize their well-being by providing tailored nutrition and access to medical care to address these specific challenges.
​
We believe that every pig deserves the chance to live without fear of exploitation, and that includes offering them the specialized care they need throughout their lives. By supporting our sanctuary, you help ensure that these wonderful animals live out their days in comfort, with the dignity they have always deserved. Thank you for being part of our mission to provide a home where pigs are valued and protected from harm.

At Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary, feeding our 450 rescue animals is a daily expense of $400, totaling $146,000 annually. Your donation can make a significant difference in ensuring every animal receives the nourishment they need.
You can support our animals by making a one-time contribution or becoming a recurring food sponsor on a weekly or monthly basis.
We offer several support tiers, starting at just $6.16 per week to provide food for one resident. Every donation helps us continue our mission to care for these animals. Thank you for your generosity!
How You Can Help:

Amazon Wishlist for our Big Pigs:
You can make a direct impact by sending a gift straight from Amazon to help us create the best possible home for our Big Pigs and provide the essential care they need. Due to their size, Big Pigs are at high risk for developing debilitating arthritis, and their joint supplements are crucial but costly.
​
Your gift will help us provide these necessary supplements, supporting their massive, hardworking joints and helping them live their best, most comfortable lives. Every contribution makes a difference—thank you for helping us care for our Big Pigs!
One- Time Contributions
Help Us Pay Off the Big Pig Barn Early and Save!
Your tax-deductible donation can help us save valuable dollars on financing fees and interest by contributing to the early pay-off of the Big Pig Barn. With just under $16,000 remaining, paying off the barn early will allow us to avoid nearly $27,000 in total financing costs over the full term.
The savings on interest and fees are substantial, and every dollar freed up can go directly toward vital needs like food and medicine for our Big Pigs. Your contribution makes a direct impact, helping us provide the best care while reducing long-term expenses.
Thank you for your support!
Help Us Build Out the Barn!
Help Us Complete the Big Pig Barn!
Your tax-deductible donation will help bring our Big Pig Barn project to life! Once finished, the barn will play a key role in our sanctuary’s journey toward sustainability, as it will be fully solar-powered.
​
There’s still work to be done—insulation, wall paneling, solar lights, solar fans, stalls, a loft, and two lean-to additions are all needed to complete the barn. That’s a lot of lumber, but with your support, we can build it one board or bulb at a time.
Thank you for helping us provide a brighter future for our Big Pigs!
