I was referred to Pauls by a friend. I took home 3 different meats and was so surprised by the difference in flavour and appearance of free range, hormone free meat. I had bacon, lamb chops and pork and veal sausage, all of which were the best meats of their variety I had ever tasted. Mika is incredible friendly and very knowledgeable about the industry. Highly reccommend
