Greenhouses Are Almost Ready!!

We received an A+ on our greenhouse from Griffin Landscape Supply Company! Now we are going to install the thermal glass the sprinkler system the ventilation system and work on our potting soil mix! We are very excited to be adding additional greenhouses to the ones that we already have. 

We also have some beautiful Angelica plants starting to bud, take a look at the pictures below and see how it's going!

Spring is officially here and we High Valley Ginseng cannot wait to show you our beautiful plants this year; everything from Skullcap, Angelica, Sage, Lavender and more! We are even going to try our hand at distilling some essential oils. 

Stay tuned folks there's lots more to come!!

Happy Spring Ya'll!

Spring is officially here!! Now, let's hope our unpredictiable Georgia weather gets the memo! 

We are putting the final touches on our greenhouses and we pulled up some Ginseng root to check it and boy does it look amazing!! 

Happy Spring Ya'll!

I See A Greenhouse A Risin'!

Whoo Hoo folks! We got the foundation poured for one of our greenhouses today! It's looking great! We are so excited for Spring and to see our herbs growing in our brand new greenhouses! 

And Then There Were Herb Farmers....

High Valley Ginseng & Herb is privileged to be growing top quality herbs for the many Master Herbalists that we know and work with.

WE at High Valley are not the Herbalists; we grow, nurture, harvest, cultivate and ship fresh from the ear...th, top quality herbs for medicinal and personal use. We ensure that our herbs are fresh, free of radicals and grown with the strictest standards possible.

If it were not for the Master Herbalists that dedicate years of their life to their work we would not be "growing" into the family business that we are. So, we want to say thank you to them. People like Jeanine Davis, Alison Dressler, Cindi Vernon and the Western North Carolina Horticultural Research Center. Without people like these we would not be where we are today. Thank you!

We love to share the information we have learned from our friends and partners by posting various herbs and their medicinal uses, but please note we are the keepers of the herbs, the farmers and tenders, we leave the rest up to the Master Herbalists.

Another Step Closer!

We are getting ready to pour the cement foundation for our greenhouses! No Arctic Blast is going to stop us! 

Construction Zone!

We are clearing the way for some brand new greenhouses here at High Valley Ginseng!

Things are moving along slowly but surely for our new green houses.

For those of you not familiar with Suches, GA; we are at a higher elevation in the North Georgia Mountains so that means we get a lot colder and a lot more snow and ice than our fellow Georgians just a few miles south. We are just north of Dahlonega Georgia and the folks there have a saying, "It's snowing in Suches and headed this way". Ha ha ha! Now, that's not always the case, sometimes it snows in Suches and stays in Suches and snows some more! So far that is what 2014 has brought us. BUT, that doesn't stop us from putting on our long johns and rolling up our sleeves and getting to work!

We are EXCITED about the Spring and work is never done when you're in this business!

I wanted to share a few of our construction in process photos as well as a couple of the beautiful winter wonderland we've been seeing so far this year! Enjoy!
