Your Questions, Answered

One simple question started Crowd Cow — where is my meat from? Answering that question has become an obsession and now customers can confidently purchase meat and seafood from the very best independent and sustainable sources with Crowd Cow’s flexible, completely customizable recurring shipments.

We exclusively offer beef, pork, chicken, seafood and wagyu from sources we know personally with the highest regenerative and ethical standards. Every product on Crowd Cow is raised without unnecessary antibiotics or any added hormones and is taste-tested by experts.

From product to packaging, we’re committed to sustainability. We use recyclable and compostable packaging, offset the carbon emissions of every order, and work with producers who care about the environment just as much as we do.

Every customer can choose a personalized and completely customizable recurring shipment. By default, your order will come monthly, but the frequency and products in each box are completely up to you!

It can be! Every customer gets the option at checkout to make their box a recurring delivery or get it one time. Recurring boxes get free shipping at $149. We know that every customer has unique needs which is why we make it easy to customize or skip shipments, and even completely opt-out of our recurring service at any time.

We ship everywhere in the USA except Alaska and Hawaii.

Choose from two shipping options for quick delivery:

Standard Shipping (1-3 days): Free for orders $149 or more ($24.99 for orders below $149) Typically ships the next day. Delivery times vary by location, with many regions receiving their box in as little as 2 days.

Priority Shipping: Available for $29.99. Order by 10 am local time Monday - Wednesday for next-day delivery (excluding weekends and holidays). Both options include ample dry ice to ensure all items remain completely frozen during transit.

We've learned that our customers love variety! So, you get final say over what is packed in every single one of your boxes. We'll build each box based on your preferences and our current inventory, then send you an email and text message notification that your box is ready for review. You can customize your box completely so that you get exactly the cuts you want.

Yes! You have complete control — you can change your delivery date before or after you place your order and up until we begin packing your box. You can push out the delivery date of your recurring box with no penalty.

Absolutely! For instructions on cooking specific cuts, including Japanese Wagyu, visit our Cooking Resources page. You can also find recipes for products you’ve ordered here.

Yes! Customers can introduce their friends, family, neighbors & coworkers to Crowd Cow with $25 off their order using their pesonalized link found here. Once the order ships, you'll get a $25 credit to your account, too! The more your share, the more you can earn.

We source the very best meat and seafood from all over the world and we personally know each producer we work with. Our producers range from independent family farms to co-ops working together across several regions, raising their animals in ways that benefit the land and surrounding environment.

We source with an incredibly high set of standards and our unique relationship with each producer ensures our customers get only the highest quality products. Every item you’ll find on Crowd Cow has been taste-tested by experts, is free of hormones and was raised without any unnecessary antibiotics.

Yes! We provide an avenue for farmers and producers to bring their incredible meat to more people across the country — customers they otherwise wouldn’t be able to reach on their own. By handling the marketing, support and logistics, we help farmers focus on what they do best. Your purchase directly supports their livelihood and ensures they can continue raising and caring for their animals in ways that benefit the land and surrounding environment.

Yes! We offer both 100% grass-fed beef and pasture-raised beef (raised on grass then finished on natural grains). You can easily identify our 100% grass-fed beef by our ‘grass-fed’ icon shown on each product page. Shop 100% grass-fed beef here.

We sell both wild-caught and farm-raised seafood from some of the most sustainable sources in the world. When done the right way, farmed fish can be a great complement to wild fisheries, supplement and support fishing livelihoods, and provide great-tasting, healthy seafood to people all over the world. Learn more here.

Yes! We offer heritage breed pork (Kurobuta, Berkshire, Duroc, and Duroc cross breeds) from several farms across the United States in addition to all natural pork. Shop pork here.

We offer both free-range and free-range organic chicken as well as truly-pasture raised chicken. Both are raised without unnecessary antibiotics or added growth hormones.

Truly pasture-raised chicken is a label reserved for chickens that primarily live outside and roam freely on grass pastures. These chickens have access to shelter but forage on natural grasses, seeds, bugs and grubs for the majority of their lives.Packed full of rich flavor and nutrients, these chickens are higher in omega-3s as well as vitamins A, D, and E, and lower in fat than most any other chicken. Shop all of our chicken here.

We don’t have a set restock day, and work closely with each and every farm to receive their product as soon as it becomes available. How often we’re able to restock products from specific farms depends on the size of the farm and their processing schedule. If there’s a specific cut you’re looking for, you can join the waitlist for that product and we’ll notify you via email when it’s back in stock.

All of our beef is sourced under USDA inspection; however, it is not USDA graded (Prime, Choice, Select, etc). For many of our farms, it doesn’t make sense to grade beef due to the size of their operation. Some of our products, like Japanese Wagyu, also use a different grading scale entirely. We stand by the quality of our products — whether it’s lean and healthy 100% grass-fed beef or supremely marbled American Pure Wagyu. At Crowd Cow, quality is so much more than a marbling grade. it’s about how the animals were raised, the farmer’s practices and standards, sustainability, flavor and everything in between.

Not always. We try to send the same items in every box but may not be able to based on inventory. If we cannot send the same items, we will do our best to closely match your preferences (e.g., same type of protein, same type of cut, etc.) to what we do have. In some cases, the price may be slightly higher or lower depending on what’s in the box. In every case, though, we will send you an email and text message once your next box is ready for review. You’ll have the chance to swap out items, add to your box, or keep your order as is. You always get the final say on what you get and how much you’ll pay for it.

When your box is being packed, we’ll send you an email and text message notification. You can then review a packing list of all products included in your upcoming box. Here you’ll find the farm associated with each cut of meat.

But remember, you're in total control over your box! You can add, remove or modify the cuts in your box so that you get the products you want from your favorite farms. When you select products from a specific farm you'll find the name of the farm printed right on the product label. When you select Raised Right products from co-ops, they’ll be labeled with the processing city and state.
