Meet The Team

Alice & Luc Clarkson

In the soft glow of a dream, sparked by boundless passion and a heartfelt desire to make a difference, the story of Rowandale Goats unfolds. Picture this: a cozy afternoon in my barn, the air filled with laughter as a friend's little boy finds joy among the goats. It was in that moment, amidst the innocence and playfulness, that the idea struck me—why not share the therapeutic magic of these gentle animals with others?

Not long after, my son Luc became part of that same rhythm of life here at Rowandale—growing up alongside the goats, sharing in their calm, curiosity, and quiet joy. Watching him connect with the animals only deepened my belief in what I was building: a place where both children and adults could slow down, feel present, and experience something truly meaningful.

With a background in the culinary arts and a deep love for all things local, I couldn't ignore the call to help others embrace a more nourishing lifestyle. The notion of guiding folks toward seasonal eating and preserving nature's bounty filled me with excitement and purpose.

Then, like a gentle whisper from above, Proverbs 27:27 spoke to my soul, affirming that this path was meant for me. And so, Rowandale was born—a place where the beauty of nature and the warmth of community converge.

So, my friend, I invite you with open arms to experience the joy and tranquility of Rowandale. Come, wander among the goats, savor the flavors of the season, and let the healing power of this special place envelop you. Welcome to Rowandale—a haven of friendship, laughter, and endless possibilities.
