Most meat lovers have heard of Certified Angus Beef. Only one grocery store group in each geographic region is approved by the Certified Angus Board to market their meats and Magruder's was one of the first chain of markets licensed to sell Certified Angus Beef in Washington. Certified Angus Beef is selected from the top 7 percent of Angus cattle that has met ridged quality standards for marbling, tenderness and leanness. All Certified Angus Beef is labeled at least Choice by the USDA and some is USDA prime, but at Magruder's you pay no more for this choice product than for lower grades beef in larger markets. Served in 5-star restaurants, this beef can now be served in your home. We are so proud of the product that we offer a Double Money Back Guarantee on Angus beef and all fresh meat products!
Freshness and cleanliness are even more important to today’s consumers than ever before. To ensure that we offer the highest quality product, we grind all of our own beef from authentic Certified Angus Beef three times a day. We never buy pre-ground meat from large processors and we only sell ground meat the day it is ground. You will not find Ground Beef in a tube at a Magruder's store!

All of our Pork is from the famous Smithfield Company in Virginia. Today's hogs are raised leaner with an average of 31 percent less fat than 20 years ago. We offer a wide variety of chops, ribs and roasts.
Magruder's also buys American - lamb that is. Our lamb is always fresh, never frozen, USDA Grade A American Lamb. American Lambs are fed a diet of all grain, which produces lamb that is tender, delicious and mild flavored.
We prefer American lamb to foreign lamb, which is grass fed and produces a stronger flavored product. American lambs are also bigger, with more meat in proportion to the bone. Shanks, racks, legs, kabobs, stews--we can help you create a family meal or a special occasion.
