From the City in Europe to the Field in the Valley: Agriculture Week at the Big Courtyard, Merhavia Kibbutz

From the European City to the Field in the Valley

Come get to know the Great Courtyard in Merhavia,

the place where the first settlers tried to become farmers and establish agricultural farms that would sustain the Zionist settlement in its early days.

Here, a cowshed, stable, and sheepfold were established; an olive grove was planted; the first silo in the valley was built; camel caravans passed through; and agricultural machines never before seen in the valley arrived.

During Agriculture Week, we will set out on an evening tour of the courtyard and encounter the story of the beginnings of Hebrew agriculture in the Jezreel Valley.
