Farm History

Farmer Joy is a sixth-generation family farm in Chileno Valley. Joy Dolicini and her family began by raising cattle and pigs to produce their own meat, and eventually started selling it to local businesses in 2018. When Joy’s children started raising chickens, resulting in an abundance of laid eggs, she started selling them at their preschool and eventually made it an actual business. The farm’s animals roam freely in the pastures, while foraging on grass and feed in the barn. This means natural grains and vegetables, for the chickens, ducks, and pigs, while their cows are fully grass-fed. At her stand, she offers duck and chicken eggs and beef and pork in a variety of cuts, including ground beef, sausage, and more.
