Crowd Cow is a mission-driven startup founded in 2015 with the idea that the most important of food purchases – beef and other proteins – deserves to be associated with high-quality practices, total transparency, and close connection to the independent family farms producing the food. The Crowd Cow model isn`t the norm: In this country, 84% of beef comes from industrialized and factory processes that don`t benefit consumers, small-scale farmers or animals. Today, Crowd Cow offers the most convenient and direct way to purchase from independent and family-owned farms, giving American consumers access to a world of craft beef more diverse and flavorful than most people realize. We`re also creating opportunities for the very best independent producers to reach more customers and to showcase their unique traditions in ways never possible via the internet. Crowd Cow has raised significant investment and has been featured in leading publications including the New York Times, the TODAY Show, Food & Wine, Forbes, the Guardian and more. Crowd Cow allows people to discover and access the highest quality craft beef and meats from small, independent farms with an emphasis on unique flavors and high ethical standards. We are committed to discovering delicious meats and promoting the people who dedicate their lives to producing healthy, premium meat you can trust. Through Crowd Cow, you have a direct connection with the producer and a greater understanding of where your food comes from. At Crowd Cow, we believe craft meat should be enjoyed like wine, with an appreciation for the varieties and a deeper knowledge of the source of the food you consume. Following in the footsteps of other craft food movements, craft meats are full of different stories, flavors, and origins. Join the craft beef movement and learn more at crowdcow.com. We are now offering pasture-raised chicken, heritage pork, and Japanese Wagyu.

For over 50 years, Biscuitville has been a local, family-owned company known for serving up authentic Southern breakfast food made fresh daily from locally sourced ingredients. With over 60 quick-casual locations in North Carolina and Virginia, we`ve assembled a new, driven, and experienced leadership team committed to unprecedented growth. Since our rebranding in 2014 as Biscuitville Fresh Southern®, we`ve embarked on completely remodeling all our restaurants. And, in stark contrast to most of our competitors, we`ve experienced double-digit sales increases throughout fiscal year 2017. We`re proud of the fact that our fresh-baked biscuits have become almost legendary here in the South. (Garden & Gun magazine included them among their “100 Southern Foods You Absolutely Must Try Before You Die.”) Yet what truly sets us apart is our entrepreneurial spirit. We build amazing teams of passionate individuals while creating an open, collaborative environment designed to foster personal growth. And we encourage that growth to extend beyond the workplace: Our restaurants all close at 2 p.m., and our corporate headquarters closes at 3 p.m. every Friday—allowing for a work-life balance not found anywhere else in our industry.
At Pure Prairie Poultry, we invite you back to a time when both chicken and intentions were honest, simple, good. Neighbors knew one another other by name, communities came together, and handshakes sealed relationships. Though the here-and-now feels complicated, it doesn`t have to be. It takes awareness and commitment to use modern practices for good—not as a replacement for the ideas and touch of real people and real food.
