September 6th, 2024 by Jacob Tally • Read 821 times • 1 min read

Last weekend, August 30th through September 2nd, 2024, Crowd Cow had the honor to sponsor the Telluride Film Festival. In turn, it was my honor to be able to represent the brand and get to mingle with film enthusiasts from across the country. I’d like to say this event was a key piece of our marketing strategy for the year, but like many things at a scrappy startup, it was opportunistic. In fact, Telluride had a long standing, well known meat...

The Maillard reaction is...

Why I no longer pay attention to labels like “organic”

February 5th, 2019 by Joe Heitzeberg • Read 12,118 times • 3 min read

It may shock some people, but I no longer pay attention to labels on meat products. For years, I’ve traveled the country meeting with chefs and farmers in search of the world’s best craft meat, and over and over I hear that labels and certifications aren't meaningful or helpful, and can be abused to misrepresent the truth. The “organic” label is a good example. Thanks to the rising popularity of “grass-fed, grass-finished” and “organic”...

What? Sriracha + Manuka Honey Pasturebird Chicken Wings, That's What

May 21st, 2018 by Joe Heitzeberg • Read 10,150 times • 1 min read

These are some of the best chicken wings I've ever had in my entire life. Pastured Chicken Wings from Pasturebird makes a huge difference, as does the creamy richness of the Manuka honey and tangy heat of the Sriracha Chili Sauce. Manuka honey is a superfood known to promote digestive and immune health, and it adds a special taste. I recommend Comvita's Manuka Honey from Amazon. I also recommend using a hickory smoked sea salt instead of...
