Our Flinders Island Origins.
Roaring Forties Lamb has a special place in the Flinders + Co story. Our original lamb was sourced from Flinders Island in Bass Strait, where sheep grazed across the island’s coastal pastures and the product became known as Flinders Island Saltgrass Lamb.
It was one of the products our business was built around, originally as Flinders Island Meat, and helped establish our focus on provenance, quality and strong relationships with Australian producers.
As we grew, so did demand. The limited size and production capacity of Flinders Island meant we eventually needed to look beyond the island, while maintaining the quality and eating experience our customers had come to expect.
Today, Roaring Forties Lamb is sourced from carefully selected producers across Tasmania and Victoria — ideal farming regions shaped by a cool southern climate and the fierce westerly winds known as the Roaring Forties.
While our footprint has grown, the principles behind the product remain: 100% grass-fed lamb, strong provenance, careful selection and a focus on consistently high eating quality.
