This farm looks promising indeed.
Hi Eki, good to see you again. Yes, I moved from the Jerusalem area down to the Negev in August.
ReplyDeleteMeitar is a nice community of about 7,500, begun in 1984. I like it.

ReplyDeleteVP, yes, that's it. I watched the old 1937 movie of The Good Earth recently. It sticks with you.
ReplyDeleteGreat Picture. Shows the type of land well.
