Very helpful professional staff love this place I would recommend this Feed store to everyone. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful

The people there are incredibly nice and helpful. They also have a huge selection for all your doggie and kitty needs.

I buy bird seed and pet supplies/food here. Great place and people. We're lucky to have such a farm store still thriving here in Sonoma. Also love that you can buy pet food to donate to Pets Lifeline. read more

Brocco's Old Barn - Pet Stores Near Me - Sonoma, California

The best and nicest people at Brocco's - quality products -excellent pricing. (Helped me out of bit of parking disaster - so above and beyond) thank you neighbor read more

A feed store that's a classic! super friendly and helpful staff. Always seem to find what ya need and better prices than buying it online. Support local! :) read more

Huge fan of Brocco's! Been coming here for years for various supplies! It may be a short review, but I wanted to touch on the fact that this is not merely a barn supply store, but they offer also pet treats, some house supplies, and truck rentals. Expect the old country style store with excellent customer service and very appropriate pricing might I add. For years I had rented trucks from them that were in much better shape than the tatty U-Haul rentals in town and the pricing was quite fare when comparing the two. As for farm supplies, I cannot comment much on it as I have never purchased any, but many I have talked to have raved about it. Purchased many bags of dog food and various other treats over the years as they source a lot of it from local suppliers versus a massive chain company. When in need, I can always trust Brocco's to save the day if they have what I need! read more

Great resource for feed and barn supplies. Great selection of dog foods as well. Owners are wonderful and always helpful. Happy to support this local business! read more

Visited Brocco's Old Barn to buy just a bucket of straw. Got a quizzical look until I explained it was for an outdoor feral cat enclosure I had obtained from Amazon.com, for a feral cat that I had been feeding for the last three months. He was skin and bones at the start, now just fashionably slim. He has let me touch him a few times. The Brocco's sales clerk just grinned and said help myself to a bucket worth's of loose straw. So kudos to Brocco's Old Barn. It will get cold and wet some day, and I hope that Cat3 (that's what I am calling him) will find the enclosure and its straw comfortable. (My two indoor/outdoor cats don't seem to mind Cat3 in my backyard; so for now I am a 2.5-cat household, maybe a 3-cat household someday.) read more

See all

All The cows you see along Arnold are sold for slaughter- Even calfs. Just offered to buy mother and calf for whatever price they wanted to buy to put in sanctuary. They would have made their money like any other sale and they said no. They didn't want cow and calf to live life out in sanctuary. When I offered to pay whatever she wanted she started screaming at me that the people of the United States need to eat meat. Painful to engage with such an unstable confused brutal human. Hope she gets some mental health support. In meantime Our organization will cut all ties to the fees store as it's a family business. I encourage you to do so as well. read more

I wish I could give this place ZERO star! Last week, I had to buy a bag of beetpulp for a friend of mine and they charged me over $21 for 50lb. I commented it was high in my experience, but they said it was standard. We even talked about the fact that horses are being abandonned now because of the high cost of horse food. Well, later that day I called Rivertown in Petaluma and the same bag there was $10 LESS. The kicker is that I called Brocco to ask if they had made a mistake and they said no and that they bought their beetpulp from Rivertown. They implied Rivertown's bag are 40lb which is not the case, and they were not embarrassed in the least. Well, with this kind of price gouging, no wonder horse people have difficulties feeding their horses. So, horse people, dont go there. Hunter Behrens and Rivertown, 12 miles away in Petaluma is a much, much , much better deal, even with the price of oil. read more

Not a very good selection of dog food. I do not think that they are consistent when ordering their supply. For instance, they may have the same brand when you go back, but not the same food (as far as ingredients go). There's always something that seems to be off. Service is rather slow. The boys that work there are nice, but just really slow... They are also expensive, the food, not the boys... read more

Good place to go if you wanna buy something other than sawdust for your dog, but obviously it costs a little more (not being saw dust and all). I was originally recommended to go here by a bunch of people around and town and since I have my shih tzu has never been happier. The new food has livened him back up to full level yelper and ankle biter. This nice young man named something with a "C" always helps me find my food and directs me away from poisoning my dog with science diet (THANKS!). Not the sharpest tool in the shed but a very helpful young chap. One time my little poochie was naughty and pooped right in front of the counter while I was waiting to pay ("Bad Poochie!"). Embarrassed I went to look for something to pick it up, but the nice man there who helps me with my food had already grabbed it and thrown it away by the time I found something. read more

YeeHaw! Load it up! Chicken feed, cat food, dog food, straw, hay, chickens, ducks(WTF who buys ducks?) Brocco's Old Barn has been my go to for animal feed since we moved to Sonoma. Things move at the pace of Sonoma, Ya'all city slickers trying to drop in for a little ity-bitsy baggy of city kitty food just keep on rollin til you hit the PetMo in San Rafael. This is a good business with a great selection and very reasonable prices. read more

I think his name was Coby, he hooked it up today and helped me find a great cat food. Turns out they have a few brands I buy and will be getting there. You can also get fresh farm eggs (only early in the day) and sometimes you can pet tiny chicks read more

I had to get some pet food and litter for my cat. Staff was friendly and helpful and Brocco's carries lots of high quality supplies. I just switched cat litter brands. I stopped using the Tidy Cats clumping litter and changed to the corn husk-based litter Brocco's has. Oh what a major difference! The all natural brand that Brocco's has is practically odor-free, clumps very well and has almost no dust. And, most of all, I think it is healthier for my cat. Some of the supermarket type brands of cat litter actually has air freshener additives in them. That I think is not good for a cat. Think about it, a cat grooms itself after each visit to the litter box. And, if that litter is filled with added chemicals, perfumes, etc. the cat is ingesting that into its system. So, I am really pleased that Brocco's carries these all natural brands of cat litter. read more

I went to Broccos Barn to buy some food for my girl tess. An employee there named Cameron assisted me in picking out the best food for my tessypoo. Tessy loves the food and has finally put on some weight since i rescued her. Now every time i drive past Broccos she goes wild because cameron gave her yummy treats from his pocket. Thanks Cam for helping me make the right nutritional choices for my gal! read more

Broccos is great! They have a lot more than u may think, hit them Up for all ur pet/farm/feed needs. read more

Our go to one stop farm shop, we love seein the chicks and friendly knowledgeable staff

We are evacuees from the Santa Cruz County CZU fires with our chickens in tow and Jan and team could not have possibly been more generous or accommodating to help us! If we weren't all wearing masks for Covid precautions, I'd have hugged them all profusely for delivering a coop at last minute. These folks are all heart and deserve your business. You won't be disappointed! read more

Brocco's is a great place. It's no frills. If you want a latte' and a personal shopper, Brocco's won't make you happy. It's not Nordstrom's. It's a real feed store. Funky in the best sense. I shop there for dog supplies. They have a large selection of food. I guess a chain like Petco carries more, but Brocco's has many brands and many premium brands. If they don't have something they'll order it and get it fast. They also have a lot of doggie toys, chews of many kinds, treats, leashes, shampoos, etc. I've not run into a problem with the staff being slow or rude. Never. I don't get some of the other comments, but OK. I've never waited long to pay, even on busy Saturdays. Just today I went in and Pam was very generous helping me. Nice folks. I bring my doggie in cuz he loves Brocco's. They're very welcoming and spoil him with treats and attention. You can't get that online. I'm sure you can beat their prices on some things if you go here and there, but they're not "expensive." Sure, Costco is much cheaper for a very limited selection. I buy some stuff at Cosco, too. But if you go online or to Costco your pup won't get a treat, you can't ask questions and get information, and you won't be supporting a solid Valley small business. read more

I don't understand all the negative reviews on this place. It's just an old fashioned pet supply store get over it! I buy my dog and cat food here and have always been greeted with a friendly smile and fast service. Sure they may be off doing something when you arrive at the counter but damn how much of a hurry can you be in when you are buying pet food?? Anyway, this place rocks, the selection rocks and prices are very fair!! read more

I've been here a few times and I've realized that I now dread coming here. The last time I was there, I stood at the counter waiting to pay while the entire staff tried to decide where they were going to order lunch. Also, it's gross that a young man spat into a clear plastic cup while he was writing up my order. read more

Been a Brocco's customer for nearly 30 years. Had a few complaints over the years naturally, but over all love this feed barn. Wouldn't trade it for something shiny and corporate for the world. Occasionally gotten a bad bale or something but any problems I've had they have pretty much rectified with replacements, credit or a refund. The staff are great, love the counter girls, Jan, Pam & Cindy. I remember the manager, Brian, from when he was a young man working in the yard bucking hay. He left for a while but eventually came back. Says something about the place. Has a family business feel, which I like, warts and all. Now and then one of the yard guys has been a little cocky (looking at you, Koby) but with rare exceptions all the help are very courteous and helpful. Prices have always been better than, or competitive with, everywhere else I've checked (including, and especially, corporate Pet Food Express). Big supply and selection of dog and cat food (dry/can and I think refrigerated too), bulk seed of all kinds for fowl and birds, baby chicks, lots of treats, meds, toys, basic needs for dog, horse and animal owners. There is something I have always loved about visiting feed barns, love having chickens greeting you at the door, and I'm really glad we have this one here in the Sonoma Valley. read more

My husband and I live locally in Sonoma and when we decided to raise chickens I was referred to the good folks at Brocco's by a friend who also raises chickens. I figured we would check out their selection and then go to a few other places but we didn't need to. The staff was so friendly and helpful. One of the guys took a good half hour to 45 minutes just to tell us all about raising baby chicks and what we would need, what to watch for and set us up with everything, well within our extremely modest budget. I've been back a couple times for supplies and each time I am greeted like a family member (I'm not), my nervous parental chick-raising questions answered patiently and sent on my way as one extremely satisfied customer. read more

I love Brocco's! A great local place for all things animal! We have horses, dogs, cats, rabbits & birds! All needs are met!

What a wackadoodle and wonderful place! Hay quality and horse feed is much better quality and selection than Rivertown. They actually know what they have got, and know enough about feed to make recommendations; unlike Rivertown.* see my other Rivertown review.this place gets busy on the weekends- so try to get there during the week. I brought my Boston Terrier puppy with me and they gave him lots of yummy samples. I guess you could say that we were all wagging our tails when we left. read more

I'm new to the area and I think this place is great. First of all, I was approached by several different employees as I wandered around, all offering friendly assistance. They were so helpful and patient with my million questions about raising, housing and feeding chickens and toured me all around to show me where everything was. I was impressed by the knowledge level of everyone I talked to. They even offered me free hay from the edges of the hay barn where it falls out of the bales because I only needed a small amount. Prices might be a bit higher but in a rural setting that's sometimes to be expected. read more

I love Brocco's. I've gone to that store since I moved to Sonoma almost 40 years ago. I find the staff to be particularly helpful. Not perfect, but hell, they're human, and it's hot in there. I've had occasion to return things, they've never given me a hard time, they just take it back. I love that they carry so many really good dog foods. I don't have a lot of money, but I buy a good dog food for my pup. And I always go to Brocco's because I know they carry it, and it's at a fair price. I've priced it online. Thanks Brocco's I love you guys They're friendly, like going to a place where everybody knows your name. I have a bad back and they just carry my heavy bags for me. I buy my bird seed, dog food, nyler seed, it's all good and i love this place. I'm so glad in this day and age of such big progress that Brocco's is still there. Thanks Brocco's I love you guys. And I take back what I said about the employees not being perfect, you bet they are read more

Big thanks to the staff for climbing up to the muck boot section and finding the right size boots for my son! Its finally raining here and when I called to check before heading over, they were more than happy to go through the pile on the top shelf and had them waiting on the counter when I came by. Great service! Support small businesses in Sonoma! read more

This is combination review for Brocco's Old Barn and the Penske Trucks they rent. I had a miserable experience with U-Haul, trying to rent a truck in Seattle to drive to Sonoma. My reservation was changed and U-Haul wanted to send me to hell and gone to get the truck I wanted to rent near the Seatac. I could never get anyone on the phone to talk, and I waited over an hour on hold. I canceled my res online, and called Penske. Real people, at the location I wanted to rent at. AND I could drop it off at Brocco's Old Barn in Sonoma! Everything went great. New truck, ran perfectly, good service at both ends of the trip. NOW I needed a box truck, called Brocco's and talked to the people there about another rental. I had to change the size of the truck, so I called back and ordered a bigger one. Easy peasy. Best truck rental experience ever. I recommend Penske Truck rental, but more importantly, I just love Brocco's Old barn and its employees. You can't go wrong using either Penske or Brocco's Old Barn. read more

As a long-time resident of Sonoma, I have been to Brocco'$ from time to time and cannot recommend it at all ever. The selection of dog food and their selection of horse and livestock products are limited and outrageously expensive. While hay had been selected for years by the now-deceased patriarch of this clan, it is currently bought in from a larger feed outlet in Petaluma and marked up very high. That might be okay for the San Francisco weekenders, but not for local regulars with serious agricultural needs. It was also the last ditch habit of any other feed store in Sonoma now defunct--fair warning! DO NOT PAY CASH to these people as their accounting of cash payments is negligible in our experience. DO NOT ACCEPT LARGE DELIVERIES OF HAY WITHOUT INSPECTION as one recent truck delivery was unacceptable and complaint was considered "feedback." DO NOT EXPECT COURTEOUS TREATMENT as it is well beyond the level here, and DO NOT EXPECT THAT DELIVERIES WILL BE MADE WITHOUT DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY; we waited years for any compensation for damage -- too little, too late . DO NOT EXPECT THEIR STATED OPEN HOURS TO BE ACCURATE as just yesterday my disabled husband was turned away despite a phone call. Do go to Western Farm Center, Behrens, or even Rivertown or Wilsons, never mind the distance. It's well worth it. A number of Sonoma llocals band together and go to Vacaville for much cheaper prices for hay. read more

Alas, I hated to see those other reviews, but its true. . . I am usually irritated before I even get in line there; the guys are not very intuitive; they will watch you load a 35lb bag of feed no problem! The receipt situation is just lame and yes, the pricing is not that good and their supplies are not well stocked. They could do such a better job for what is a Sonoma institution. . . get a clue people! Service is what can separate you from the competition . . . GET OFF YOUR BUTTS off that stool and "work the barn". . . read more

This is the only place we can find our dogs food. We recently moved to Marin and we can't even find it here! Our dog has a sensitive stomach, so we can't switch her food up with stomach and gas issues. They always have the food we need and it's a good excuse to come back to town for a visit. read more

I called Brocco's to see if they had any of the " Golden Fire " woodburning pellets in stock. Initailly the woman I spoke with was helpful . She checked and informed me they had " 20 bags in stock " . When I asked if she could put 6 bags aside for me, her reply was " Well, we have 20 bags in the back ". Her tone of voice was rude . I informed her that I would come by and pick up the pellets. My conversation with her ended with her hanging up on me. How much effort would it have taken for her to say " No problem , we'll set aside 6 bags for you ". Instead of hanging up on me , how much effort would it have taken for her to say " Thanks for calling , good by ". This is no way to run a business !!! read more

I was shocked to see the negative reviews below but I don't really worry about them. The locals, including me, swear by this place. Great service and more important, great knowledge of their product and livestock. read more

Brocco's is the place to go. Yeah, some of the dudes who work there chew tobacco, and sometimes they're a little slow, but it's a rural feed store. They're relaxed, friendly, and helpful, and their prices, though maybe sometimes higher than the larger feed stores in petaluma, are usually better than their Sonoma competitors. And if you're looking for the best price, just give them a call before you head down. They're always happy to answer your questions. read more

i seriously wish i could give this establishment negative stars. They are to say it plainly.....RUDE RUDE RUDE!!!!!!!!!! Last week we went to pick up some hay (.....er....STRAW! I'll explain that in a bit), to use in our veggie garden as mulch. Walking in to the front area, there were people standing around, talking, asking questions (customers to an employee). We walk up to the counter, and the guy bluntly and with attitude asks "What do you want?" I said we'd like 2 bails of hay, and before i could get another word out, he cut me off and very rudely stated "STRAW! Its not hay, its STRAW!". Both my bf and i were quite shocked at how rudely we were just talked back to, just in asking for a product they sell regardless of its actual name. (jeeze, couldnt they have at least said in a nice tone that its actually called straw and not hay???) So i said, "Uhm, yes. Well, we just need to make sure it has no seeds or anything since it will be used for a garden". And i just get a look from this guy like he would enjoy ripping my head off with a pitchfork, and he says again, quite rudely "Yes, its STRAW, so of course there would be no seeds, we dont sell straw with seeds, or else it wouldnt be STRAW" After that, i just kept my mouth shut (like a good customer should i guess...?) And purchased the straw. He told us to pull around to the side to pick it up. Which is where our second rude encounter was. We then pulled around to the side and were greeted by a different employee, who we hoped would be a bit nicer. NOPE! He couldnt make up his mind as to where he wanted my bf to back up his truck to load the bales. Left, then right, then left again...finally, we just backed up into the easiest spot, and apparently the man did not like where we were. My bf's truck has a locking tail gate, so he had to get out and unlock it. But before he could, the guy was trying to open the tail gate, and when he couldnt, i could see he was visiably pissed off and just took the bale hooks and threw the bale with all his strength into the bed of my bf's truck. My bf flew out of the truck to open the tail gate before he tried to do that again (what if he had broken the back windows throwing the second bale in!!!) And we proceeded to load the last bale, and we were finally out of that hell hole. i will state this plain as day for everyone who is reading this: WE WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK TO BROCCOS EVER AGAIN!!!! WE WILL FIND ANOTHER BUSINESS THAT SELLS HAY/STRAW EVEN IF WE HAVE TO DRIVE FARTHER AWAY TO GET THERE. DO NOT GIVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND BUSINESS TO THIS PLACE! read more

This feed store is sonomas best. Always friendly service, the young men are ready to load my feed before I am even done paying. They are fast! There is a large selection of dog and cat foods, almost too many to chose from. I love this place! read more

Where do I begin, the employees are sweating thier asses off. I was notified by a manager they like it and choose to work there, on thier behalf, they complain to me. The owner is making enough money to put in some air conditioning units from Amizon. Floor units 168.00, might need 2. Close the doors and you are set. read more

Brocco's is a little old school, hand writing receipts and all, but the folks working there are a little old school too.............they're friendly and helpful. I've been going here for years, picking up everything from dog food and birdseed, to hay bales and baby chicks. You want bells, whistles and frills? Go to the chain store. You want what you need with a country feel, go to Brocco's. read more
