About

Farmer Joy is a small family farm in Sonoma County’s Petaluma River Valley. When Joy’s children started raising chickens in 2005, she started selling them at their preschool and later made it into a business. Joy Dolcini and her family were also raising cattle and pigs to produce their own meat, and eventually started selling it to local businesses in 2018. 

Joy’s chickens, ducks, quail, and pigs feast on local, organic produce, including natural grains and vegetables, while the cows are fully grass-fed. At her stand, she offers honey from her farm’s bees, duck, quail and chicken eggs, and beef and pork in a variety of cuts, including ground beef, sausage, bacon, and more.
