New Saskatchewan Fruit

I've been trying to list all the fruits grown in Saskatchewan, so here's a new one: goji berry. It's a super healthy berry from China and Tibet. My friend Nair is growing goji berries on his acreage south of Saskatoon. His goji berry and mango jam is delicious.

 There, another berry ticked off my list!
