Why these six and not more
Product pages convert better with 4 to 6 contextual links than 10+. Past that, each additional link dilutes the signal Google reads from the page and gives the buyer too many ways out before they hit Add to Cart. The mix you want on a PDP is one entity link (American ginseng definition), two cross-sells to related SKUs (2yr and 3yr), one trust link (About Us), one upsell to a complementary product (seeds), and one supporting content link (planting guide).

The fastest path to a ginseng harvest.
These are 5-year-old American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) rootlets from our family farm in Marathon County, Wisconsin. They're mature, dormant, and ready to plant. Once they're in the ground, you're 1 to 3 years from harvest, not 4 to 6.
Sold individually at $5 per rootlet. Buy 5, 50, or 500. No minimum order.
Why 5-year over 2-year or 3-year
The wait. Younger rootlets cost less per plant but take longer to mature. 5-year rootlets cost more upfront and harvest faster. If you're a serious grower, a commercial buyer, or you've already tested ginseng cultivation on your land, the 5-year is the right pick. If you're new to ginseng and want to test a small plot before scaling, this is also the lowest-risk way to start: smallest commitment, fastest result.
Want a longer ramp at a lower per-plant cost? Look at our 2-year rootlets ($2 each, packs of 20) or 3-year rootlets ($5 each, packs of 3).
Where do these come from
George and Adam grow these rootlets on our family farm in Wisconsin. Our family has been growing ginseng for over 40 years. We brought our own products to market in 2018 because we got tired of watching brokers price our roots without ever seeing them.
Marathon County, Wisconsin, is the ginseng capital of North America. Asian buyers pay a premium for Wisconsin-grown American ginseng because the cold winters, glacial loam, and shaded hardwood canopy produce higher ginsenoside content than anywhere else on Earth. Your rootlets started life in that soil.

How to plant your rootlets
- Pick a shaded spot. Ginseng wants 70 to 80 percent shade. Hardwood forests, north-facing slopes, or shade cloth all work.
- Test your soil. Target pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Loose, well-drained, slightly acidic, rich in organic matter.
- Plant 1 to 2 inches deep, bud end up, roots facing down.
- Space 6 to 12 inches apart. Crowding leads to disease.
- Mulch lightly with leaf litter. Water if your soil is dry. Then leave them alone.
Your plants will produce berries starting in their fourth year, which is where Wisconsin ginseng seeds come from. Harvest the roots in years 6 to 8 from planting, which is 1 to 3 years from the rootlet's current age.
