Ginseng is an Endangered Species. 

What little that is left in the Wild is Growing in such Isolation, that the Ginseng Plants have become inbred.  Ginseng is a Unisexual Plant. 
It can Reproduce With or Without Sex, when this happens With Out Sex You Get Genetic Clones.
This Depletes The Genetic Blue Print and Shortens the Life Span of the Ginseng Plant . 
Unisexual Type Plants and Animals Do Not Adapt Well To Global Weather Changes. 
By Planting Genetically Cross Bred "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds in Wooded Areas and Amidst Wild Ginseng, We are Reestablishing an Endangered Species in its Natural Environment.

About the Author by, Mary

Michael Hunter, owner of Glacial Ginseng Company, is far from being your average guy, but once you have met him you feel at ease with him and you just begin to realize the depth of him. He is a humanitarian, a logger, a miner, a ginsenger, a trail blazer, an explorer, a pioneer, a fisherman, a nature balancer, a teacher, a student, an author, and a guide. And a very bold one of each.

A modern day "Indiana Jones". He has done all of the above and has written a book, Ginseng Grower’s Guide, ($9.95) which is both informative and interesting. When you read his book, keep in mind every paragraph is but one fraction of his knowledge. As a Native American, he often relies on his Indian background as his guide. He tells people, "White man walk many miles, see little; Indian walk little, see much". How true!

Michael and Mary 1997

As your ginseng matures beside your timber, you will achieve a balance between forestry and farming that will give you both financial and personal gratification. Michael believes that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, I believe that, also. He believes in building a strong foundation in both his personal and business life. He is a trailblazer, pioneer, explorer all rolled into one.

"Our Family"  Has Been in the Ginseng Business for 187 Years.

Ginseng has been in our family for many generations. It began with my great-great-great Grandfather who, in 1812, married a Seneca Chieftain's daughter and became one of Michigan's pioneers in the Ginseng business.
He worked for the Hudson Bay Trapping and Trading Co. out of Fort Detroit.
Harold G. Hunter, my father, was a Ginseng Dealer for over 50 years.  I am trying to follow his foot steps .

Spring planting can bring maximum yields when planted Early. 
Ideal time is right after the first snow melt off, To The 15th of April. 
Ginseng Seed germination is triggered by the rapid and extreme temperature changes of spring.  Ginseng Seeds can be planted at any time during this period, as long as the ground is not frozen!

Spring Planting Time For Ginseng
Is From
Feb. 15th  to Apr. 15th

Allow 6 to 8 Weeks After Planting
For Your Ginseng Seedlings To Come Up.

Glacial Ginseng always ships our Ginseng Seeds  wrapped in cheesecloth and put into a plastic storage container.  These "Glacial Gold" Ginseng seeds can be safely stored in the container they are shipped in for up to three months, if kept in a cool place, like your basement or the vegetable bin of your refrigerator.  All you have to do is check them periodically to make sure the seeds have not begun to dry out, moisten slightly if needed.
