Loganly Grown is a new brand which hopes to bring together local food growers, makers, suppliers and innovators.
Businesses met last week to explore ways to expand the city’s food ecosystem.
The Logan City Stories: Businesses Doing Good was hosted by Griffith University and introduced participants to potential collaborators to discover better ways to promote their businesses.
New business owner Sujauddin Karimuddin, from Rua Haung Café in Woodridge, shared his inspirational story.
A former refugee from Myanmar, he lived in Malaysia and Thailand, where he helped other refugees before coming to Australia in 2005.
He learned how to make street food while living South East Asia and now sells some of those dishes in his café.
Mr Karimuddin said the role food can play in nourishing the soul and spirit helped drive the vision for his North Rd café.
He also has plans to develop a place for healing, music and art.
Mr Karimuddin said money made from his café helps support refugees in Malaysia, Bangladesh and Burma.
