Bassaroot Farms is located in the heart of Hoodia Gordoniis natural environment-the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa. Bassaroots seed stock is taken directly from wild plants on the farm building a solid foundation for the plants with high levels of the active ingredient. Bassaroots Hoodia are grown with the help and knowledge of the indigenous people of this area. Due to Hoodia, Bassaroots staff numbers have increased ten fold, directly contributing to the Communitys Upliftment by creating employment for these people that grew up eating Hoodia. We have the papers to show that we are licensed to grow / sell Hoodia and our plants are authentic Hoodia.
