I am a licensed NC Ginseng Dealer and would buy green or fresh ginseng most of the season and shade died ginseng after Thanksgiving at current market prices. I would need the ginseng in flats with neck or curl intact. The ginseng needs to be pressure washed properly. I also buy green cultivated goldenseal and I prefer WNC.
