Wild Ginseng

The cold winters and dry summers together with the volcanic soils of the Pure-Ora region of New Zealand are proving ideal for growing ginseng, whilst the shade of the pine trees provides the other ingredient necessary to grow pure wild ginseng in the wild natural conditions.

Maraeroa C Incorporation is committed to growing ginseng in the wild, using the shade of pine trees in the forest environment and having longer growing times of seven to nine years without the aid or use of pesticides, fertilisers, irrigation and low stocking rates with little soil cultivation. Their aim is to produce pure wild ginseng roots and leaves that are very high in the Ginsenoside (saponins) active ingredients, have nil chemical residues and looks, smells and tastes  like wild ginseng. Maraeroa C Incorporation has been growing pure wild ginseng since 2006 when ginseng growing was first introduced to Maraeroa C by New Zealand Crop & Food.

Maraeroa C offers consulting services for new growers on how to grow ginseng particularly forest owners who are located in the Central North Island.
Ginseng is on sale at Harakeke Visitor Centre at Pureora and also Maraeroa C retail outlet on 23 King Street, Te Kuiti
