WHY WISCONSIN

American Ginseng is a wild plant, native to Wisconsin’s fertile forests. Because ginseng grows slowly and draws nutrients from its habitat over several years before harvest, the right growing conditions are essential. Wisconsin's deep, rich soil, cool summers, pure waters, and fresh air make it an ideal growing region to produce ginseng of unsurpassed quality.

Wisconsin growers pioneered the field cultivation of their native wild ginseng plants in the late 1800s. For over a century, the secrets of rearing this elusive plant have been passed from one generation to the next by a small community of dedicated stewards.

Wisconsin ginseng is grown to strict standards developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Food & Drug Administration. Further, our ginseng is stringently tested to ensure it is free from harmful contaminants and soil residues. Our ginseng is graded according to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards ensuring consistent quality.
