Product Description

What is American Ginseng?

American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is a wild, native plant of North America and grows primarily in the Northeastern and Midwestern part of the United States of America. The root closely resembles the look of a parsnip, and can grow from 6″ to 18″, usually bearing 3 leaves, each with 3-5 leaflets. The plant is a perennial, and takes 3-5 growing seasons to reach full maturity and be cultivated. American ginseng is highly prized and sought after around the world for their unique taste that is imparted from the rich soil, minerals, and climate found in Marathon County, Wisconsin. It’s noteriety as a “cure-all” root by the Chinese and Native Americans led to the establishment of the cultivated American Ginseng Industry.

Our Story and Our Farm

Family Business

Paul Hsu started his company in 1974 as a mail order business. In 1976, Paul hired his first employee, Ron Sandquist, as his farm manager. In 2011, the Hsu and Sandquist families’ second generation was integrated into the company. Will Hsu and Nick Sandquist now carry on the tradition of growing the highest quality American Ginseng.

Location

Hsu’s currently has over 1,000 acres of prime ginseng farmland available for cultivation. Selecting the right growing conditions for our ginseng farms is very important We pick only certain soil types as ginseng plants prefer loamy, well drained, shady, and humus-rich soil at least 12 inches deep with a high organic content and a pH of 5.5 American Ginseng only thrives in virgin soil In Wisconsin, after the fertile soil has been used for ginseng cultivation, we never use it again for ginseng, only raising other crops. For these special characteristics, American Ginseng grown in other areas of the USA may not look nor taste the same.

Harvesting

In early fall, the seeds are gathered as the stems and leaves of the plant above ground begin to yellow and die off. We roll up and tie open the shade fabric in gardens we do not plan to harvest. For gardens we do plan to harvest, we remove posts, cables, and shade cloth. Just before harvesting, we scrape the beds to remove the straw cover, leaves and stems. Traditionally on smaller farms, a digger is pulled behind a tractor to mechnancially dig each bed so that the roots can be brought to the surface. Roots are harvested by hand off the ground.

Finishing

After the roots are harvested, they are sorted and graded by lot, the roots that are dried are washed and chilled in walk-in coolers for weeks at a time. The last step in the process to take the final dried product from our farm to your door is to sort and grade each root by hand so they can be weighed and packaged. All of or grading and packaging facilities follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
