Why are we called Paganum? Simple, it's Latin for Rural Tradition?. We chose the name because rural tradition is something that we're passionate about. Traditional methods of farming for slower grown, happier animals. Traditional and rare breeds able to thrive in the outdoor life of the Yorkshire Dales. Traditional ways of hanging, preparing and cutting meat for a fuller flavour. And traditional standards of service where every customer counts. Managing Director Chris Wildman, 41, a North Yorkshire 5th generation butchers son, says: “Many local farmers have seen the advantages of selling direct to the public but, other than the ‘ Fresh Lamb for Sale’ sign at the end of the farm lane, are not in most cases marketeers and therefore cannot take advantage of the growing ‘buy direct and buy local’ phenomena.  Paganum can help take these products to market while giving the producers a good return and providing the consumer with the regional produce and provenance they increasingly require.�
