Canadian Nourishing Ginseng Extract
Great Mountain Ginseng began in 1976, founded by Mr. Yeh and his wife. After immigrating to Canada in 1972, Mr. Yeh and his wife entered the ginseng garden by chance, starting their journey in cultivating Canadian ginseng. To learn authentic ginseng planting techniques, Mr. Yeh agreed to work for free at a ginseng garden run by a Canadian for three years. Although he did not earn a penny, he gained valuable planting skills and a quarter acre of land for his own cultivation, which later became the foundation for Great Mountain Ginseng's development. The second generation, Mr. Yeh Changlin and Ms. Ye Cuihua, took over and upheld the philosophy of the older generation, embarking on a path of self-production and self-marketing, working diligently to carve out a ginseng path that belongs to Great Mountain Ginseng and the Chinese community.
To this day, the company culture philosophy of Great Mountain Ginseng still values "harmony among people". Over the years, in a positive and harmonious working environment, the company has cultivated many outstanding employees. Many employees have learned to pursue a professional and passionate service attitude within a culture of respect and harmony, while their meticulous and timely service allows every customer visiting the store to enjoy a shopping experience that feels like home. The decades-long consistent company culture philosophy of Great Mountain Ginseng makes employees feel proud while increasing customers' trust in the Great Mountain Ginseng brand.
At the beginning of Great Mountain Ginseng's operations, the annual production of Canadian ginseng was about 2 million pounds, while the production of Canadian ginseng was only one-tenth of that of the United States. Although Daxian's production was not large, it was the only operator among ginseng farmers with the capability of integrating production and sales. Due to stable quality and reasonable prices, the export volume of Canadian ginseng has been growing year by year. Between 1996 and 1997, Daxian set a record by exporting nearly 600,000 pounds of ginseng to Hong Kong (this export volume accounted for about 40% to 50% of Canada's total production). Since then, Canadian ginseng has gradually replaced American ginseng's position.
With the high quality of self-operated farms, in addition to exports and foreign sales, Mr. Yeh Changlin and Mrs. Yeh Cuihua opened their first store in 1989 in the Chinese mall located in the Chinatown of Mississauga, Greater Toronto Area, named Great Mountain Ginseng. They also established Great Mountain Ginseng Co. Ltd., thus starting the retail business of ginseng. Today, Great Mountain has 11 self-operated stores in Canada, ensuring the highest quality ginseng is presented to every customer from the source.
Great Mountain Ginseng is the first ginseng company in Canada operated by Chinese people, with over 40 years of experience in ginseng cultivation. It has been recognized by the Government of Ontario, and has also received a quality and origin guarantee certificate from the Ontario Ginseng Growers Association, making it the highest quality and largest ginseng brand in Canada.

Our philosophy

Reassurance, integrity and innovation are the corporate philosophy of Great Mountain Ginseng, and it is also the goal that has persisted for more than 40 years. By working for foreigners for free to learn ginseng planting technology, Great Mountain Ginseng's development road was difficult, but because Mr. Yeh stepped into the farm himself, he knew the process of American ginseng planting, climate environment, soil quality, insect pests, etc., are deeply affected the quality of American ginseng, so from the beginning to the present, we have insisted of self-operated farms and made the first-line check, to ensure consumers feel relieved to buy any products from Great Mountain Ginseng.
Great Mountain Ginseng firmly believes that in addition to high-quality and safe products, only integrity can win the trust of consumers and make long-term business. Therefore, all Great Mountain Ginseng employees adhere to the principle of integrity and provide consumers with the best service. In addition, American Ginseng, as a product closely related to the concept of health preservation, most of its past customers were middle-aged and elderly people. Great Mountain Ginseng intends to make more people healthy and feel the goodness of American ginseng, and constantly launch new products. Such as American ginseng ice honey, American ginseng coffee, American ginseng almond fruit, etc., are all unique new products of Great Mountain Ginseng.
