Nikko's Notes

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...
