Well I just typed a long version and it bit the dust. It seems Google was doing it's blog maintenance during the same time I clicked to submit. Now I really hate that! All of that typing, up in smoke..... grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The condensed version is probably better anyway as I was getting a bit dingy from lack of sleep.
The latest family news is our Goji fever! We recently discovered Goji berries and were totally amazed at the health benefits eating these berries does for you. Now we know, you are probably asking yourself, what in the world is a Goji berry? Well up until very recently we didn't have a clue either. It is the berry from a plant known as Lycium Barbarum, wolfberry, Lycium Eleagnus Barbarum.... (say what?) The plant originates from China, Mongolia, Tibet, and that general area. There is a lot of controversy on who and what region grows the best berries, but there is at least 64 known variations of this plant.
After doing extensive reading, far more than we wanted to, it basically came down to this! The berry is basically the same. The constituents and healing properties are the same. The taste may vary and I suppose it is all about your own personal preferences. The health benefits are simply amazing! We have read testimonials and actual scientific studies and it is no joke! The Goji berry is a true "super food."
Because of this we have ordered berries for our personal consumption. In addition we have ordered (we being Al, Audrey and Boop,) seeds and plants that we will be growing. We hope to soon harvest our own berries. We will also sell the berries, seedlings and plants, so cross your fingers for us and wish us luck on our latest endeavor. We will say that we learned early what NOT to do! At least we were fortunate that we learned right from the get-go, so it wasn't too costly!
Now we won't go into all of the info as we have taken what we felt was the most useful information and put a page on Audrey and Jack's White Oak Ranch site. You can read it and then decide for yourself. You can go directly to the page by going to:

I would like to note that while researching I came across a Goji blog that had testimonials. I read that pets could also benefit from Goji berries. I also read a testimonial from a woman who had suffered from psoriasis for over 10 years. After eating Goji berries her condition immediately cleared up (in a weeks time.) Any time she started to break out she just ate a couple handfuls of Goji berries for a few days and it kept her from having a full blown breakout. One of my huskies had a pretty serious rash around her eyes, ears and mouth from a zinc deficiency (which huskies are somewhat prone to.) I tried the Goji berries on her (which the dogs love, by the way.) Sure enough, in just a few days the rash quit spreading and in less than a week the rash is almost gone! I am a believer.
I am posting a picture of what a Goji (Lycium Barbarum) plant and it's berries so you can see what it looks like. If you would like to know more, or want information about Goji berries, plants or seeds, just shoot us an e-mail.
