Frequently Asked Questions

Is Crowd Cow based in Washington state?
Yes — Crowd Cow was founded in Seattle in 2015 and remains headquartered there. As a marketplace, they source from farms across the US and internationally, not exclusively from Washington state.
Where can I find grass-fed beef in Seattle?
PCC Community Markets is the top retail option in Seattle with the strongest local sourcing. Whole Foods (multiple locations), Sprouts, and Town & Country Markets also carry certified grass-fed brands. The University District and Capitol Hill farmers markets feature Eastern Washington ranchers selling direct on weekends.
Does PCC Community Markets carry local Washington grass-fed beef?
PCC is the country's largest member-owned grocery cooperative and places a high priority on Pacific Northwest sourcing. Their meat department frequently carries Washington and Oregon grass-fed beef from regional farms not found at national chain competitors.
Are there Eastern Washington grass-fed ranches I can buy from directly?
