Harvesting has begun!

We have begun harvesting the olives! A great group of wwoofers have joined us here at Gezer to help out and to learn about Israel, kibbutz, organic farming and olives.
​The first variety to ripen is the Shimlali, a variety rare in Israel but very common in Tunisia and North Africa. ​

Here's a photo of the first wwoofers to come this year- Lucia, David, Evelyn and Charisse.  We had a great time visiting Ramle. For more photos from this year's harvest, check out the PHOTOS section of the website.
