Crowd Cow is an online marketplace that connects consumers with independent farms and small producers for high-quality meat and seafood. Founded in 2015 in Seattle by Ethan Lowry and Joe Heitzeberg, the company aims to make premium, sustainably-raised beef accessible to everyone. Inspired by Heitzeberg's experiences on a Japanese farm, Crowd Cow emphasizes transparency and diversity in meat sourcing.

The company operates a "cow sharing" model, allowing customers to buy directly from producers, which helps reduce costs and maintain a direct supply chain. Crowd Cow offers a variety of products, including 100% grass-fed beef, Japanese Wagyu, pork, chicken, bison, and sustainable seafood. They prioritize eco-friendly practices, being the first to use biodegradable insulation and pledge carbon-neutral meat delivery. With over 100 farms across 23 states, Crowd Cow targets health-conscious consumers who value transparency and animal welfare.
