| We have a small demonstration family farm and will love to share our life with you. Our farm is based on the techniques of permaculture. We make cheese from our own goats, raise chickens, fruits, vegetable and herbs and offer eco-tourists a campground and structures built using earth and local materials. We are still developing our farm and will welcome new ideas from enthusiastic volunteers We live in an ecovillage of about 300 families between the Sea of Galilee and Nazareth along what has been identified as a very popular hikers route, "The Jesus Trail". During Talmud and Mishnah times, there was a Jewish city in the hills near-by. In the early 1900's, ideas practiced in our village influenced future settlements. We find a stay of 2-3 weeks is best for most volunteers. We look forward to sharing our family farm experience with you! There is space for 4-5 volunteers at any one time |

| Our farm is located in the entrance of The Carmel mt. National Park. The farm is located in the center of Mediterranean forest and there is a beautiful view to the Mediterranean beaches.
In the farm we grow fruit, vegetables and herb gardens and we take care of animals (chickens, dogs and many more). In addition, the construction of the farm is by the principle of natural materials – wood and stones and any recycled instruments.
There is no electricity in the farm and we generally keep the simple kind of living, which we enjoy very much.
The volunteers fit themselves perfectly to the daily work and create many interesting projects.
The work specifically combines gardening, taking care of the plants and the animals and rebuilding new areas around the farm. The place grew up beautifully on the last months thanks to our great volunteers.
For the volunteer's benefits we have two cabins (2 people in each one), toilets, hot shower and a nice kitchen. We are responsible to buy food products and the volunteers are welcome to cook reach healthy meals.
The most volunteers we can host at a time are four and you can stay for as long as you wish and you are not required for a minimum of a time.
All the people in our crew speak English and some Spanish.

| We are a family with two young children, operate a small ( 12 dunam or 3 acres) organic vegetable farm on Moshav relatively close to the center of the country, but still in a beautiful and undeveloped area between Beit Shmesh and Kiryat Malchi.
The work expected of a volunteer, mainly helping to maintain, plant and harvest, is not strenuous.
I would like a volunteer to stay at least two to three months. When you decide to leave to give two weeks notice. The work schedule is six hours a day five days a week, but I am willing to be flexible for extra time off if there is not a lot to do.
We originally from the US (I grew up on a dairy farm in upstate NY).
We grow a wide variety of vegetables and greens as possible since we market directly to homes.
The living quarters for the volunteer (right now we can accommodate one person or a couple - a child we would have to talk about) are self contained. We want the volunteer to feel as part of our family as possible (especially if you connect with our children). When we sit down for a meal the volunteer will be welcome otherwise they have to cook for themselves..
it is not a problem to be picked up when you arrive.

| permaculture farming initiative which aims to create a
center for environmental and social awareness, in order to encourage key
changes within Israeli society, that is, consuming behavior, resources use,
and abundance perceptions; ultimately, the objective is to foster changes in
people's lifestyles towards sustainability.
The farm is the product of a collective journey of inspired, motivated
students of the Green Apprenticeship (GA) Permaculture Design Course. Our main activities include
among others, taking care of an organic garden and twelve chickens;
ecological building with a variety of materials including straw bales and
mud; and designing/building other permaculture projects like greywater and
rainwater collection systems and solar ovens.
We also host a monthly exchange market that works on the basis of a simple
idea – someone's garbage is a useful thing to someone else. Through the
market we can not only re-use and recycle but we can actually convey the
message that we can do much with what we have instead of focusing on what we
don't have. |

| Farm141 |
| In the farm I have about 70 kinds of vegetables for the domestic market, including Cherry tomatoes for exporting.
The Moshav that we live in, is very calm, far away from the noise of the city and yet not that far so one can enjoy a movie, a good meal in a restaurant or any other joyable thing that a big city can offer by a drive of some 45 minutes.
We need the help of volunteers in the green garden of the organic vegetables as well as in the Cherry green houses.
We have place to accommodate up to 4 people at a time.
The accommodation is in the Meshek, in rooms that were recently built, and a kitchen where you can cook to yourself.
We would like you to come and stay with us for two weeks or more and think you will meet different type of Israelis that chose to live among the beautiful desert sand...
There are buses that start in Beer Sheva that reach our place and enter the Moshav 3 times a day.
In case that the bus does not enter the Moshav it stops about 5 minutes drive from us so we can pick you up every hour more or less.
We will be more than happy to have you here.
