Welcome to the new Emerald Castle Farms website!
May 9, 2012 Updates
The State Ginseng Laws section of the site has been updated. I've added Indiana and Missouri laws, as well as completely renewed some states which included changes to their laws since the last update.
July 30, 2011
We are now taking orders for ginseng seeds to be planted this fall. The earlybird sale ends August 8th. At that time, the price increase will go into effect. I still do not know how much the increase will be, but seed will certainly be in short supply this year. I have already seen a significant increase in seed sales this year compared to last.
Our new site
Put simply, we have outgrown our spot at Castleen.com. Our ginseng business is continuing to expand. To take the website to the next step for our customers, we decided to finally give the name its own ".com". For this year, we will still be using the shopping cart in place at the old ECF site hosted at Castleen.com.
What we do
Emerald Castle Farms is still a division of Castle Enterprises. We sell ginseng seed and rootlets to growers and woodland flower gardeners. We occasionally have other woodland plants available, or can get them on a special request basis. We are the inventor and manufacturer of the ECF Seeder. Our seeder is designed to work through leafs, and in all sorts of soil conditions to take the strain out of planting wild simulated ginseng in unprepared ground. We hope to continue to expand our product line to provide our customers with everything they need related to the growing and responsible harvest of ginseng and other woodland botanicals.
Ohio Ginseng Dealer
We have been an Ohio ginseng dealer for a number of years. We have recently expanded this part of our business to include being a licensed exporter of ginseng and goldenseal. We are currently buying wild ginseng for export to Canada and China for the retail markets there. We are keenly interested in buying wild ginseng from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina.
The Dust
Please excuse our dust as we flesh out the site in the weeks and months to come. One of the key features of the new site will be the ginseng forum where ginseng enthusiasts can get together to talk about these fascinating plants. We are also looking for reader submissions for our Articles section, and ginseng dealers who wish to have their information listed here.
Thanks for stopping, and please check back often!
