Every small farm could use an extra hand.
​
Especially if you are a part of the 50% that failed to turn a profit last year, or the 10,000 that were forced to close for good.
​
Grow More... For Less.
OTEK is changing the trajectory for small farms. Our new-to-market technology puts the farmer first by saving them time on the most labor-intensive tasks.

Case Study (February 2024):

1 worker | Two 90ft rows
​
400 tomato plants took the single person 8 hours to transplant by himself.

This often puts him behind schedule with everything else on his farm

Where We're Starting
OTEK Transplanter
Take the back-breaking labor out of your planting process.
The OTEK Transplanter is a self-propelled, parallel planting device which acts as the hands of the farmer. This device comes with proprietary seedling trays designed for our transplanting system. And yes, this device supports plants of all shapes and sizes!
​
Simply load in your OTEK Trays, preset your spacing requirements, and guide the device down the row while the system plants (up to) 6 strips simultaneously.
​
We know how much of a headache it can be to transplant, our team here at OTEK has spent 40+ hours transplanting with our farmer friends. That's why we're on a mission to reduce labor time for transplanting by as much as 95%.
​
Don't worry, hang tight. We'll have pictures, videos, and more by September 2025 :)
