@susie Thanks. I've eaten them several times, and I prefer them to cranberries for the reasons you mentioned. My soil is ideal for them because low-bush blueberries grow really well in it naturally. I'm optimistic. Maybe I'll start selling them if they do well.
@susie I already have a business, and that's what I was referencing: value-add products like jams and preserves with lingon berries. I never expect a big profit in business.
Lingonberries are very versatile and you can use them with game meat (deer, elk, reindeer etc) as well as sweet desserts.
AFAIK they also don't need as much water to grow (found in mostly dry pine forests here).
