The largest Ginseng operation on the planet!

Ginseng is an herb that grows wild and is cultivated around the world. It is highly sought after in the Orient for its medicinal properties. Fromm Bros. was one of the first groups in the world to cultivate this root. Ginseng was the beginning of their enterprise as it afforded them enough capital to begin their silver fox venture. Ginseng continued to be a staple of their enterprises with over one hundred acres in cultivation at any given time. The ginseng market, like most other markets, fluctuated over time. Fromm Bros. had the ability to weather these market cycles and store the dried root for many years until the market rebounded.
