Here is some information on growing your own Goji. There is also facts on how to cut through the marketing hype and get to the truth of what these berries are about. It takes about 3 years to have a harvest. The author sells Goji too and you can get a years supply for over $100 which is about 8lbs - a huge saving on commercially sold Goji and the horticultural methods are within acceptable practices too! She is based in Colorado. She is not interested in profiteering but disseminating the facts which are surrounded by sales propaganda about Goji. I get mine from a Chinese Doctor but am thinking of growing my own. They survive in all sorts of climates and the article tells you how to do it for yourself - it is very easy even if you are not a gardener!!! Traditional drying the berries loses some of its nutritional quotient but you can enjoy them fresh from your own garden. She says many birds and animals eat them so you need to be careful as well as tomato worms etc. The prices of Goji are becomming inflated as though they are a luxury product because of demand. I find I get a fortnights supply from a Traditional Chinese Doctor for under $20. You can have a handful a day or 3-4 tblsp in a tea that has absorbed the goodness of Goji.
