Eagle Creek Lavender

Our Story

As owners and operators of a 12 acre lavender farm in western Oregon, we found the need for a harvester that would increase our productivity and decrease the labor of hand harvesting.

After searching worldwide and finding nothing suitable to our needs, we designed the Starr Lavender HarvesterTM
It is purpose-built for the small-medium sized farm and can be easily operated by two persons (or even one, if needed.)

In terms of labor-savings, our 600 foot rows normally take 8 hours to hand harvest. With the Starr Lavender Harvester™ we can now cut a row in just 15 minutes.

The Starr Lavender Harvester™ features heavy-duty construction and is designed for years of trouble-free use.

We look forward to discussing your needs.
