We’re Closed

Island Cow is currently closed following a fire that started in our kitchen after we had closed for the evening. Thankfully, no one was injured, and we are committed to renovating and reopening as quickly as possible. At this time, we are unable to sell any of our Moo Merchandise.

On behalf of our Island Cow family, we want to thank everyone for their ongoing support while we temporarily closed for repairs.

Our biggest need is support for our staff who are now facing unemployment. Will you #HelptheHerd?
