| The Joys (and Challenges) of Humane Farming |
“We always say we raise our animals with love because we really do love them,” says Joy Dolcini of Farmer Joy, a sixth-generation family farm in Chileno Valley. “We just want to make sure they’re happy and healthy, which makes love the secret ingredient in our eggs and meat.”
For Joy, love means raising all of her animals humanely on green pastures. Joy and her family began by raising cattle and pigs to produce their own meat, and eventually started selling it to local businesses in 2018. “It certainly wasn’t my intention to start a business, but it was just a nice way for me to be able to stay home with the kids and make a little money for groceries or other necessities by selling these products,” she says. |
