About Us
Goat Patrol is an environmentally sustainable landscape management business owned and operated by Alix Bowman. Ms. Bowman focused on entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business with the goal of starting a sustainable business. After dabbling in pig poop and green consulting, Ms. Bowman decided to return to her naturalist roots by getting outside and working with animals and the land. The inspiration for this particular business was found knee deep in a patch of English Ivy (a scourge, to be sure), which Ms. Bowman was struggling to remove to make way for a garden. "If only I had some goats," she thought... and four months later, Goat Patrol was born.
2012 Update
We are proud of our accomplishments and grateful for all of the support we received over the past four years, but the time has come to close the barn door and seek out greener pastures. If you are interested in adopting a few members of the herd, please visit the Meet the Herd page for details. Ms. Bowman is also looking for new opportunities and can be reached at info@thegoatpatrol.com or by calling 919-757-1850.
