Description
The love of life leads our vision, in this little community and ecological farm we established.

So what is this place you ask?
Mostly - A place we grow people and vegetables (:

We work with the earth to grow happy vegetables, and through our work learn how to become happier ourselves. So we host a variety of different educational projects and groups, host events, workshops, festivals and music concerts.

We are looking for open hearted people who see how the world is changing for the better.
People that see the future as it can be and help us change it, bit by bit.

We are inviting you to come help in the field with us. Bring your passion, creativity and initiative. Build stuff, invent stuff. Dance, cook. Love.
Types of help and learning opportunities

What's this?
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Each volunteer arriving benefits differently. Somehow the work together, the quest of spirit, and the attention given to the vegetables, make a change in all that take part.
In addition, the views, people and nature around is worth every minute spent (:
Help
Agricultural in the field. Growing organic vegetables. Planting, sowing, weeding, picking, and more.

I enjoyed my stay at the farm. The location is great and the accommodations are awesome. However I was quite disappointed to be left all day long only with volunteers. We didn't really had the opportunity to talk, exchange or even eat with local people neither with Tal or Itay who where supposed to take good care of us. It felt to meet like giving… read more

Volunteering at the farm was a magical and excellent experience.

I couldn’t have picked a better place for my first Workaway and also first experience in a farm! I want to thank Itay, Ester, Shenhav, Elad, of course Carlos the most energetic volunteer in the planet, friends from the moshav and everyone that I got to know during this time. A week and a half here was definitely short but also seemed like a long… read more

It was a great experience. I came to the farm from central Israel to connect to the peace and connection of nature. I was in the farm for five days and really enjoyed with the lovely and special people. The work is not difficult and it is fun to walk around. Recommend to anyone who wants to see Israel in a slightly different way.
Love you guys… read more

My stay on the farm was the most amazing and seriously lifechanging experience. During the six weeks of my stay, I was shown so much love and appreciation and felt really integrated into the community. Work on the farm includes many different fields like cooking, building, cleaning and land work, which makes every day different and exciting. As a… read more

We had the best time on the farm over the 2 and a half weeks that we stayed. Although Itay left for holiday just 2 days after we arrived, so we didn't get to spend too much time with him, Eszter really made us feel at home - she is the heart and soul of this place. The work we did on the farm varied from picking in the fields, doing some… read more

I found a home there from the first moment. Huge pleasure, freedom, hard work, friendship, music, beaufitul souls, cooperation, being together (and dirty!) but also taking care of individuality, sharing, laugh, amazing vegetables and much much love. See you in five, for sure!

I want to say - thank you for that time. I spent a nice week in that place.. when I came, it was Thursday. And pizza night, and people. Wow wow. A lot of people. I was welcomed. From the first second. It was more than a farm.. it’s a commune. Like a family. Good place and friendly people were around me. They made me feel better. They took care of… read more

Wow - what a very special place and what beautiful people; it goes beyond words. If you are looking to journey within and also engage deeply with the beauty of the natural world around you then head this way. You'll spend your time doing varied work, but most days will include tending to the organic vegetables and getting your toes dirty in the… read more

Our stay at Itay’s and Shenaf’s Farm was just incredible! They are really nice people who welcome you and make you feel part of their family immediately - they actually care about you :) the tasks can be a lot sometimes, other times it’s quiet - but it’s always loads of fun and just being outside all day and enjoying nature and the view (with some… read more

The words are too small to describe the experience in the farm. It happened a magical time in this place where I spent much more time than expected. It definetly changed a part of me and it definitly made me grow up positvely. Each day we were working with vegetable learning how to treat them with love, free to decide which activity to invest.

It was a lovely experience to be part of the farm, I was able to learn a bit about grow vegetables and there are different task so you are not going to be bored! I could help in the field, in the kitchen, building and even do some crafts.
The nights at the campfire with music, Thea, Shenhav and the lovely Chiko was the best!

Alejandra is an amazing person and we enjoyed so much having her part of our team here in the farm!
With relaxed and calm understanding of the environnement around her, she managed to integrate socially and in the work that it felt almost felt like she has been with us for months.
We hope to have her back one day. Good luck Alejandra!!

Thanks for letting me volunteer on your farm.
I had a good 2 weeks with the staff and volunteers there. The staff was kind and understanding, and I got to work the land organically. Organic is good for those who eat the produce, the workers, and the land. I enjoyed our erev Shabbat times together.

I loved life on the farm. For me a perfect balance of work and chill time. I learnt more about growing and permaculture so would recommend for anyone interested in this. There are vegetable boxes weekly to harvest for and pack for delivery to the community. Thank you Itay and all you wonderful people ! Wish you all the best with your mission. Come… read more
