Editor's Review

Crowd Cow is the marketplace play in the category — they connect a network of named small farms to consumers, so when you buy a steak you can see which Texas Hill Country ranch raised it. The model supports both one-time purchases (great for buyers allergic to subscriptions) and curated subscriptions for repeat buying. Strong on grass-fed beef, regenerative pork, wild Alaskan seafood, and rare items like A5 Japanese Wagyu. Active on ShareASale — already wired into Karma.
