Rise and Shine with Slow Food Breakfast @ Mary Valley Rattler

It will be a warm and wonderful way to start the week when Slow Food host a breakfast at the Mary Valley Rattler railway station in Gympie on Monday, 5 August.

The Historic railway station is a community hub for Gympie, the Mary Valley, Cooloola and Noosa hinterland regions. Farmers and producers in these areas are building a strong reputation for good, clean and fair food.

Slow Food was founded in Italy in 1986 and is now active in more than 160 countries, highlighting the need for healthy food to be available to everyone.

The breakfast event will include Slow Food Noosa farmers and producers promoting their produce and events.

The choice of five dishes on the breakfast menu will feature “hero’’ produce from Slow Food members who have achieved Snail of Approval status for their commitment to quality food that has been produced in
a sustainable manner.

Among the guests will be Slow Food Noosa delegates who are being sponsored to attend the 2024 Slow Food International Terra Madre Salone del Gusto event in Turin, Italy, at the end of September.

The event is dedicated to sustainable agriculture and the environment, with our delegates presenting at workshops and information stands about the Noosa-Gympie region and Australia.

Slow Food Noosa is very active in promoting healthy food and greater understanding of nature through a Snail Kids program that will be promoted at the Turin convention and festival.

The investment in sponsoring delegates is also to bring back knowledge and skills gained while networking with the hundreds upon hundreds of fellow delegates from throughout Italy and around the world.

Terra Madre Salone del Gusto is a five-day festival that sees more than 500,000 people pass through the gates of Parco Dora in the heart of Turin.

The breakfast at Mary Valley Rattler, 10 Tozer Street, Gympie, starts 9am on Monday 5 August.
