Super Food Gojiberry farming in Kashmir |
Most goji
berries are grown in China, Afghanistan, Kashmir, India, Pakistan and Canada but the plant is also well adapted to grow in a
North American climate.
Organic dried goji berries sell for $20 or
more per pound, and fresh berries demand significantly higher prices,
especially when sold at farmer’s markets.
You can grow up to 7,000 pounds of goji berries
per acre, which makes it the most valuable crop you can farm when it comes to
berries.
Goji berry plants are deciduous and slightly
thorny woody shrubs. They grow to 3 to 6 feet tall when pruned and cultivated,
although in the wild they can grow to 12 feet tall.
Goji berry plants are best started inside a
greenhouse for the first six weeks of their development, but then they can be
transplanted outdoors.
They can withstand both cold winters and cold
summers.
In some places, goji berries are considered an invasive species since they’re so robust.
In some places, goji berries are considered an invasive species since they’re so robust.
So we’d recommend growing a named cultivar like
Phoenix Tears or Crimson Star which aren’t usually invasive.
You may get light harvests from your goji berry
plants in the second year, but it usually takes three to five years before they
reach full production capacity.
Planting goji shrubs in late winter while they
are dormant can help give you a bit of a head start.
Goji plants are usually grown from cuttings,
which can make starting a goji berry farm a bit more expensive than other
crops.
It can cost $10,000 or more for enough cuttings
to cover one acre of land.
But like other types of berries, your goji plants will continue to produce berries each year without needing to re-plant.
