Ging-seng in Maine / Vermont /Northern & New England?

Question

I am trying to find a gingseng grower or ditributer in Nothern New England. I have hear that Gingseng growing (both Korean and American) is relatively popular in Maine maybe Vermont and Upstate New York and Canada? Does anyone grow gingseng or knows anyone from whom I could purchase some seeds? If so please email &/R IM me or reply to this question. Id rather that it be a private or small -family farm business than huge Multinational if possible. Thanks you very much in advance and Best regards
Joonas

Answer 1

I found a group website on dreamweaver where others are asking the same questions you are about ginseng and seeds in the Maine area. Their banner reads:

MAINE MOUNTAIN GINSENG

HOME OF THE ANCIENT FABLED "MAN ROOT"
"AS CLOSE TO WILD AS MAINE LAW ALLOWS"

Be sure to check out their guest book pages (http://www.dreamwater.com/ginseng/guest3.html) as there are a lot of other folks with good comments and information.

Another site that has information shows this address for seeds:
Ginseng seed, planting roots, and Ginseng Growing info available from:

OZARK MOUNTAIN GINSENG ROUTE 1 Box 1223 Thayer, Missouri 65791

Email address: [e-mail] Phone [phone]

While not in the Northest, they do offer seeds for sale and as a smaller outfit. http://alternative-herbal-medicine.net/Ginseng/ginseng.htm
