Crowd Cow, an online marketplace for high-quality, grass-fed meat, offers first-time customers $25 off with this referral link. No coupon code is required — the discount activates automatically in your shopping cart.
Shipping is free for orders over $149. For smaller orders, the shipping fees are:
- $14.99 for orders between $99 and $149.
- $29.99 for orders under $99.
Orders over $149 include a free product, typically valued at $25–$30. You can choose from several options. Our favorite is the Wagyu Ground Beef (two pounds free), which makes excellent meatballs.
About Crowd Cow
Crowd Cow connects customers with sustainably raised meat from small farms across the U.S. and worldwide. Their offerings include grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, heritage-breed pork, and seafood, all shipped directly to your door.
I’ve been a Crowd Cow customer since 2020 and have been consistently impressed with the quality of their meat. While not bargain-priced, it’s reasonable for the quality you get.
In my detailed Crowd Cow review, I compared Crowd Cow’s prices to other direct-to-consumer meat companies. They’re slightly more affordable than premium competitors like White Oak Pastures (my favorite for quality but not for affordability).
Crowd Cow also beats specialty grocery stores like Whole Foods, especially when factoring in discounts and its rewards programs.
It’s pricier than Costco or bulk stores, but the quality is significantly better.
The variety is also impressive. As a family of five, we focus on essentials like family packs of ground beef and chicken thighs, which we stockpile in our chest freezer. (We’re not exactly tossing Wagyu steaks on the grill for a weeknight.)
We occasionally treat ourselves to a ribeye, and they’ve consistently been outstanding.
Unlike some other delivery services, Crowd Cow consistently delivers frozen-solid orders. I’ve never received thawed or unsafe shipments, even after ordering over a dozen boxes.
Here are some tips for your first-time order:
- Check out their weekly deals for unique cuts—we try to add one to our order to keep things interesting.
- Stick with the value packs of beef for the best bang for your buck.
- Skip the bacon — it’s nothing special.
- Their pork (from brands like True Story or Coleman Naturals) is average and widely available elsewhere.
- Don’t miss their fish, which is consistently excellent. The shrimp from Del Pacifico Wild Caught Seafoods is a standout.

Yes, and orders over $149 also include a free product. In the past, I’ve received items like steaks and Wagyu beef for free.
There’s no time limit to place your first order after registering.
Crowd Cow does not offer refunds on purchased items.
Shipping times typically vary but can be as fast as three days after the order ships. When placing your order, you’ll receive an estimated delivery date and can schedule future shipments for specific dates. Expedited shipping is available for $29.99, even on orders over $149.
Final Verdict
The $25 first-time discount is a nice incentive, but shipping fees make it worthwhile only if you spend over $150. The quality, convenience, and rewards program make Crowd Cow a solid option for sustainably raised meat every month.
