What To Look For

Goji berry plants go by several different names. You might find them by looking for Lycium Barbarum, which is the true Tibetan berry. They are also sometimes referred to as wolfberries.
Nurseries

Individual Sellers
-
Individual farm sites and personal growers offer goji berries at websites based anywhere from Virginia to California to the United Kingdom. Sellers also offer goji plant cuttings on eBay.
Consider Seeds
-
Seeds are easier to find than plants, and some out-of-country companies may not ship live plants to the United States. Some goji berry product sellers, including Amazon.com, offer seeds for much lower prices than plants (as you would expect).
Other Alternatives
-
Eating dried goji berries, which resemble raisins, is one option for reaping the possible health benefits. Whole goji berries are sometimes available at Chinese herbal shops. Goji juice can be found in some health food stores and through online retailers.
