If you’re thinking about turning your gardening hobby into a business, you’ve likely been thinking about what crops would earn the most revenue. Of course, there are plenty of other things to consider, such as the amount of space you have, what climate you’re in, and your intended customer base.

Goji berries have become increasingly popular crops, due to their widely known health benefits and variety of uses.  They are also beautiful shrubs, with white or purple flowers giving way to deep red berries. And because they’re in such high demand, growing goji berries can be a profitable decision.

What are Goji Berries?

Goji berries, also known as wolfberries, are hardy perennial plants that come from a shrub that’s native to China. In fact, goji berries have been used throughout Asia for treating common health problems like high blood pressure, fatigue, fever, and diabetes. Over time, studies have found that goji berries are jam-packed with vitamins and nutrients, and they also happen to be delicious! They are usually red berries, but there are different colored varieties too. And they’re fairly easy to grow – they’re tolerant of a variety of soils, particularly thriving in zones 5-9.

  • Protect the eyes from age-related issues

There are many other health benefits to goji berries, too, so consider adding them to your crops.

Since goji berries are also very tasty, they’ve become popular in cooking and meal prep. Just a few examples of what you can make with goji berries include:

  • Raw – Goji berries can be eaten raw and are often found as a salad topping. You can also eat them by themselves, like raisins.
