What does RWA mean?
It means that when you buy beef labeled Local Angus RWA your product comes with three promises. It is always:

• A(ntibiotics)
• A(dded Hormones)
• A(nimal By-Products)

As one of FreshDirect's premium beef suppliers, Local Angus works with a coalition of small family farms throughout the Mid-Atlantic region* who feed their cattle a diet of primarily grass, supplemented by grain throughout the finishing months. Every farm in this program is independently audited for animal welfare practices to ensure the best standards of care.

*More than 90% of the cattle comes from NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, VA, and WV, but in winter and short supply, the program is supplemented with cattle from North Carolina and Ohio.
