Goji Berry Health Benefits

For centuries, the goji berry has been part of a healthy diet for millions of people. More recently, gojis have been recognized as a bonafide superfood.

The goji berry, also known as the “happy berry”, is known to enhance overall happiness and joy.

Gojis boast many health benefits since they are packed with antioxidants: vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that help to prevent damage to cells from unstable molecules, known as “free radicals” in our bodies.

Health benefits include improving cholesterol levels, cardiovascular health and digestive functions.

Goji Berries in Lower Mainland

While gojis have been available in dehydrated form and imported from countries into Canada, fresh gojis are not easily found.

Peter Breederland, founder of Gojoy, recognized this opportunity a few years ago, and decided to grow this superfood in the fertile lands of the Lower Mainland.

His family farm was an inspiring story of determination – countless farmers told Peter that the berries wouldn’t grow, but he still decided to grow this unique crop.

His success in doing so, and innovation in growing these berries and creating value-added products, is noted and commended.

Gojoy had been the only goji farm that has gone to market in Canada.

Peter most recently decided to sell his goji berry farm and Taves Farms decided to take over over growing gojis in the Lower Mainland.
