Interview with April Pollock, owner of Clever Cow Creamery

It was Friday. I was feeling good about my vocabulary and multiplication tests. My younger brother Orion and I were good all week so my parents brought us to Clever Cow, our local ice cream parlor. We always enjoy playing our made-up game on the way, changing “Clever Cow” to “Carniverous Cow”, “Cretaceous Cow” and other crazy “C” adjectives. We had lots of fun. 

April Pollock, the charming mastermind behind Clever Cow Creamery, made her business in 2015 because Orcas was a tourist destination with no ice cream parlor. Clever Cow scoops unique ice cream flavors with fun names while also offering soups and sandwiches during colder months. She calls her shop Clever Cow because the milk comes from local Holstein cows on a family-owned farm, called Edaleen. Sourcing locally is clever and beneficial for all!

As a lifetime vegan, I am so grateful that April serves yummy vegan options. I like to order a cake cone with two flavors chosen from an offering of four sorbets that can include Guava, Coconut, Blueberry, Lummy Island Lemon and Cucumber Lime. She provides vegan options because some people can’t enjoy dairy treats. Sorbet is made with juice and sourced from Lopez Island. Her ice cream options (I'm not going to list them all) are Clever Cow Cookies and Cream, Latte Chip Affogato, Road Repair, and much, much more! The most popular flavor is Clever Cow Cookies and Cream, and April’s favorite is Latte Chip Affogato.

My favorite part about Clever Cow is April. She always serves her ice cream/sorbet with a charismatic smile. And she loves to surf! I'm always glad to come to Clever Cow and see her.
