41 Degrees South Aquaculture
Tasmania has always attracted pioneers and the vision of a German couple to build a ginseng and salmon farm out of the wilderness certainly qualifies them as modern day pioneers. Ziggy and Angela Pyka have taken 14ha of wilderness and created 41 Degrees Aquaculture Eco-Experience at Montana in the idyllic Meander Valley.
Their hot-smoked baby salmon can be tasted and bought at the farm gate along with salmon rillettes. You can explore the fish farm and walk through reclaimed wetlands stopping at the information centre for coffee and freshly made sandwiches (salmon of course!).

Black Forest Smallgoods
You’d trust a chef to make a decent sausage. So a German chef should make an absolute banger. (After all, Germans practically invented sausages, didn’t they?) Thomas Beuke, is a proud German chef and owner of Black Forest Smallgoods. He loves his sausages. He wins awards for them all the time. He’s a very clever sausage-maker.
Since establishing Black Forest Smallgoods in 1999, Thomas has continued a long family tradition of fine smallgoods makers. No inferior or cheaper ingredients are allowed to compromise the real taste of the ingredients. No cereals, fillers or unnecessary additives are used either. And that means that Black Forest sausages, with a higher meat content, allow the full flavours and textures to dominate.
