Our story

Ricardo Federico Besel was born and raised in a German colony in Argentina, with his Wolgandeutscher father and his Belgium mother. He grew up in an agricultural environment surrounded by farm equipment and infinite fields of different crops. Ricardo attended a technical school and worked in his grandfather’s shop since he was a child. His grandfather was an import agent and a tractor/farm equipment dealer. No doubt this was the best school possible for him. At the age of 20, he met a Scottish engineer who was one of the first Lavender growers in La Cumbre, a small town in the middle of Punilla Valley mountains, in central Argentina. Since then he has been focused on the idea of having his own lavender farm. After Ricardo moved to the United States he opened his own company in Florida. Later he moved to Coeur D’ Alene, Idaho, where he designs and manufactures lavender processing machines.

We received the USLGA "LIFT" Award “Lavender Ideas for Tomorrow"

The old-world challenge of how to economically separate craft and culinary lavender calyxes (flower buds) from the stems of lavender has been a bugbear for centuries. Before the Besel Lavender Processor, there were few commercial choices available to lavender farmers and few farmers were selling craft and culinary buds as a result. Ricardo Besel used his vast knowledge of machinery to design a purpose-built machine that was able to help clean 400-850 bundles per hour (depending on the variety of lavender and size of lavender bundles). Ricardo spent several years perfecting the machine by custom debudding and cleaning for many lavender farmers throughout the Pacific Northwest. He was continually modifying his processing machine to improve its efficiency and quality. His first commercially available machine was rather large and costly which meant that it was economically feasible to large lavender farmers. Ricardo was quick to assess the need for a smaller version of his processing machine. His smaller model is about 1/3 of the size of the larger model and is much more cost-effective for mid-small farmers.
