We have just launched the âForage Gympie Regionâ campaign which highlights and promotes a full month of events, focusing on showcasing our local producers, growers and food-based businesses, right across the region. Some of the regionâs premier food and agribusiness operators have signed on as part of the program; delivering a true paddock and farm gate to plate experience.
