Nestled in the charming town of Deloraine Tasmania, 41 Degrees South Salmon Farm stands as a beacon of sustainable aquaculture practices in Australia. With a deep-rooted emphasis on family values, this business has not only thrived in the local community but has also set a stellar example in the realm of sustainable fish production.
Family-Owned Business
Ziggy and Angelika immigrated to Australia with their 2 children, Charlotte and Ben, and built their dream in Red Hills. Currently 3 generations of the family work and play on the farm with even the little grandkids helping out when they can.
About The Farm
41 Degrees South is a salmon farm, wetland and ginseng farm near Deloraine, Tasmania. The Farm is focusing on ecologically sustainable aquaculture. Located in native bushland, the farm grows salmon in natural conditions, without chemicals or antibiotics, using environmentally sustainable practices. The farm’s operations are powered by renewable energy sources, symbolising the family’s commitment to a sustainable future for generations to come.
The inland farm uses a wetland as a natural biofilter for the fish waste creating a rich habitat for native flora and fauna. The waters of the Western Creek feed down from the Montana Cascades into the salmon farm and back into the creek creating a flow through system for the water. Though mostly seen at dawn or dusk lots of wildlife call the farm their home including platypus, wallaby, echidna and a huge variety of birds.
Activities in the Farm
