“Historically, Mountain Rose Herbs avoided carrying wild-harvested North American ginseng due to the pressures put on this plant in the wild—overharvesting, natural resource extraction, and deforestation due to land development, just to name a few. However, Randy and Cliff’s forest farming methods bypass these perils to the plant, allowing us to offer ginseng that is of the highest quality and that is harvested in a way that doesn’t damage the environment or compromise our wild plant populations. These efforts and specialized farming practices allow us to offer our customers the stress response support of adaptogenic American Ginseng* from a fully traceable and transparent source.
“Mountain Rose Herbs has a commitment to these plants and really cares about the conservation of those botanicals harvested in the wild,” said Susan, executive director of the nonprofit United Plant Savers.
Forest farmers are still a rarity, due largely to one unavoidable barrier to entry: time. Since these botanicals mature slowly and cannot be harvested until years after the first planting, getting started requires considerable work and patience before rewards are realized.“
“Forest farming represents a promising economic and ecological path forward for Pennsylvania’s wild areas, and businesses and herb-lovers are essential to supporting it. When customers purchase Forest Grown Verified botanicals from Mountain Rose Herbs, a portion of the proceeds are donated to United Plant Savers to fund growth and development initiatives to help this emerging industry thrive. With their help, the tireless efforts of our growers, and the global herbalism community, these magical plants may enrich our lives and the environment for generations to come.

City Manager J.J. Murphy acknowledged, “Maybe we should have said it was ‘an alleged suicide.’” Then he added: “Can I also ask that we stop talking about lynchings?”
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
