Starflower Co. Eugene Oregon 1976. ©Meadow Muska. Collective employed many lesbians as truckers, warehouse workers & office staff.
Starflower Natural Foods and Botanicals was a natural foods distributor based in Eugene, Oregon, that operated from 1973 to 1987. Starflower's collective employed many lesbians as truckers, warehouse workers, and office staff. In 1976, when a semi was parked, I would work as a day laborer to help unload boxes of Knudsen juices, bags of rice or beans, etc., from the trucks. Then, after work, many of us would go train at Amazon Kung Fu.
