In this video, we take a look at the annual Asheville Herb Festival where 60+ vendors come out to sell their fruit trees, vegetable plants, and medicinal herbs. Robert Eidus, owner of Eagle Feather Organic Farm, Joe Hollis from Mountain Gardens, and several other organic herbalists are in attendance. This video provides a glimpse of the market place and can give budding herbalists an idea of how to market their products. We also discuss the importance of reseeding these plants that are often over-harvested from the wild. Forest farming these medicinal herbs helps to ensure a sustainable supply for public consumption.

Transplanting Seedlings for the Market – Video

Robert Eidus explains how to transplant ginseng seedlings with minimum irritation to the plant. These seedlings are sold at the Asheville Herb Festival. Forest grown medicinal herbs can be sold as dry product, seedlings, rootlets, or as value-added products. When sold as a seedling, as pictured in this video, the plant should only be contained in a pot for a month at most. Ginseng seedlings do not fare well if left in plastic pots for too long. The seedlings should be kept moist and in shade.

New York city grown, Organic American Ginseng
July 18, 2013.

“I gave no shade, no pesticide and no chemical fertilizer…just water. This year I add worm casting from my worm farm. By adding it, some of the ginseng prong had 7 leaves, which is unheard of. I read somewhere that the maximum of leaves per prong is 6. I bought my seed from Robert Eidus, North Carolina Ginseng & Goldenseal Co.”
