A harvester includes a brush assembly having a plurality of flexible, radial bristles extending from a central axis of the brush assembly. The brush assembly is adapted and constructed for rotation in a first direction. A comb assembly having a plurality of axially extending combs mounted in a position spaced radially from and parallel to a central axis of the comb assembly is also provided. The comb assembly is adapted and constructed for rotation in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the brush assembly. A mounting assembly secures the brush assembly and the comb assembly such that the bristles of the brush assembly come into contact with the combs of the comb assembly when the brush assembly and the comb assembly are rotating. A method of harvesting of grass seeds while minimizing damage to the standing grass from which the seed is harvested is also disclosed.
