Oct 9, 2008 Things I like

 
As a youngster I spent many hours in the woods of southwestern Virginia hunting wild ginseng with my brothers and uncles, and as a teenager I raised a pretty large crop of my own in the woods that covered much of my parents’ 17+ acres of mountain land where I grew up. Although it’s been many years since I’ve been ‘seng huntin’ or planted a ginseng seed, I have never lost my love for hunting and growing ginseng.

Although it was once plentiful in the woods of eastern North America, the American ginseng root’s high demand and high selling price has ultimately led to its virtual demise in the wild. In an effort to help restore the plant in areas where it has been depleted and preserve it in areas where it hasn’t, I have created a brand new website dedicated to teaching others how to plant and grow American ginseng for fun, health and profit.
