-
Increase the value of agriculture and food from the region.

Achieve a price premium for the produce.

PLAN / IMPLEMENT
braincells determined a strategy that speaks about the people, produce and the place in creating the Southern Forest Food brand. For the Southern Forest Food Council, it was identified that this is best articulated by the “genuineness” of these elements – the genuine people, the genuine produce and the genuine place; hence the Southern Forest brand of “Genuine” and its creation of the logo.
