The Ofir Farm in Alon HaGalil includes a vineyard and winery that wine lovers know by its former name ‘Yiftah’el Winery’ and a beehive, which honey lovers know by its previous name ‘Ofir Beehive’. The farm was established by Hadas and Zvika Ofir in Alon HaGalil, which was then an agricultural settlement at the beginning of its path. Zvika, grew up on the craft of raising bees, which he learned from his beekeeping father, Yishai. He received the first hundred swarms from him as a gift and today it consists of over 800 hives.
The honey extracted from the bees is pure, natural and healthy, and is classified according to the types of flowers: carob, jujube, clover, citrus, and avocado, and according to different wildflower areas. The second generation, the four children of Hadas and Zvika, continue the business, and as you can see in the picture – the third generation …
