Sow Joan (commonly referred to as Joan) is a fictional character in the video game Animal Crossing. She comes to the player's village from six o'clock AM to noon every Sunday to sell turnips. Joan is also on the train when the player creates a new character or travels between villages.
Joan sells turnips for a certain price per turnip, and you can buy them in bunches of 10, 50, or 100. After the player buys them, he or she can sell them to Tom Nook every day but Sunday, at another price per turnip. The player should sell his or her turnips at a high price so he or she can get more money. This practice is called the Stalk Market by players of the game.
Her name is a pun on the DOW Jones index, as they are both aspects of the stalk/stock market.
If a week passes and the player hasn't sold his or her turnips, they will go bad and won't be worth anything. However, spoiled turnips can be used to attract ants and cockroaches.
