The Ningxia Province
Ningxia has a long history. Early in the late period of Old Stone Age dating back 30,000 years ago, human beings had lived and toiled there. Qin Dynasty had built the Great Wall in the area to protect from the invasion of nomadic tribes in north China, and sent troops to station there to guard the area and open up wasteland. They dug channels to divert water from the Yellow River to irrigate farmland, starting the use of the Yellow River's water to irrigate farmland. Since then, Ningxia has been honored as lush southern-type fields north of the Great Wall.
Situated near the geographical central northern edge of China, Ningxia's northern border is shared with Inner Mongolia. This region produces the most nutritionally dense Goji Berries in all of China.
The Huang He (Yellow) River originates in the Himalayan Mountains and flows through the Ningxia Province. This river creates a unique, mineral-rich, super fertile silt-water flood plain found nowhere else on earth, producing incomparable Goji Berries.
The beautiful Ningxia region is called “China’s herbal medicine valley” and is renowned for meeting all of the stringent rules to be awarded the prestigious “Green Certificate”, the equivalent of the USDA’s Organic Certification.
The health and longevity of the Ningxia people has long been attributed to the daily consumption of Goji berries.
