Our farm elevation is 600m/2000ft situated on the southern slopes of the Great Dividing Range, West Gippsland. Our Ginseng remains cool in summer shaded by tree ferns, sassafras and native hazel; and the mountain winter gives ginseng the cold it requires to develop its potency. |
NO - Pesticides, Fungicides, Herbicides of any description are used in the growing of our Ginseng. Natural composted organic fertilisers and minerals are the only inputs allowed. |

| Why Organic Ginseng? |
| Why would you buy a health supplement that was not organic? It would be a major contradiction to do so. The health problems we suffer come from poor diet, poor quality food and chemical contamination. |
| We give you a clear choice between: |
| - Ginseng grown organically in our forest gardens or |
| - Ginseng grown using chemical fertilisers, herbicides, fungicides and pesticides. |
| We are totally committed to organic method and a generous amount of TLC; however apart from a desire to do this and our morale obligation to grow our crop in this manner, our organic certification requires that we are subject to annual soil & plant testing to maintain this status. |
| |
| Taste |
| Another compelling reason is taste. Our Ginseng has a nutty, slightly sweet taste without the bitterness associted with chemically grown ginseng, overloaded with nitrates. |
