We here at Glacial Ginseng have been working on developing markets for our growers.  We are Seed growers and not too  interested in the export market for ginseng roots.  We do have a responsibility to our growers, although our internet growers do not have roots that are over 3 years old, as we started internet sales in 1998 how ever we started planting ginseng in Michigan when it first became legal to do so in 1994.  Now we have some roots that we could sell.  It is very hard for us to harvest a plant that produces a half ounce of seeds per year, the seeds are worth far more than the root.

$19.95 (US) Plus S&H

We are in the process of compiling a list of the top 25-30 buyers of ginseng roots in the world.  This list will be available, for free to all of our commercial growers with the purchase of 5 Pounds or more of our "Glacial Gold"ginseng seeds.  This list will also be available to the public for $229.95, the same cost as our 2 # 50 Root Commercial Start Up Kit.  Please drop by our home page www.ginseng-seed.com as we have posted some pictures there that tell a story by themselves.  This is only a sample and these buyers don't have web sites. 

The Ginseng market continues  to be slow and there are several reasons for this.  The Asian economy is very slow right now  as is the internet.  What is happening on the internet is that our Chinese markets are just going down the list and seeing who will sell for less.  That's good for their business but, the harvesters and growers are going down the same list seeing who will pay the most.  These are good ideas for the buyers and the sellers, but no place for the dealers.  The real big markets are not interested in 5 or 10 pound lots and that has been where the dealers fit in.  This order that we are working with, is a trial order for a 100# and hopefully will lead to many more orders.  

Shipping and Packaging
Quality is very important and care in packaging is just as important.   Please try to keep the necks with the roots as much as possible.  Place your roots into a cardboard box and use cheesecloth, cotton or newspaper to separate the layers.  Pack your shipments so that you can feel no movement in the box. If we get a box that has loose roots rattling in it, it will get returned to you, unopened.  We recommend shipping by U.S. Priority Mail.

  The "Ginseng Growers Guide" by, Michael Hunter,  Contains Many Helpful Tips, about Site Preparation and Planting Woods Grown Ginseng by Hand.

"Growers Tips" From The "Ginseng Growers Guide"

Undergrowth needs to be cleared to improve air circulation, to reduce competition and to allow room to till .  Weeds need to be eliminated. A herbicide should be sprayed on your site about four weeks prior to planting.  Round-Up works good here.  As part of your site preparation you should consider the balance of light in the woods.  If you are going to utilize the woods, you need a good forestry program.

About ninety percent of the woods that I have walked into, I could go over to the east side and I could find a place in there that with a minimal amount of work would be a good site for an initial seed bed. Those plants would then be up and growing for you, leaving time to balance your woods, work on soil and lighting requirements, etc.
