Desert's Bounty Farm – Farm Tours

To work in the terraced fields and to grow medicinal herbs is a dream come true for Lilach and Gabi at their Desert's Bounty Farm which is located on an ancient agricultural site that still produces medicinal herbs using ancient agricultural secrets close to a dry river bed - Nahal Heimin.

 

Desert's Bounty Farm on the ancient
Nabatean Incense Route is part of a project
of individual farms spaced along the Wine Route in the Negev Highlands

Come and listen to the fascinating story behind these remote farms
The Vision and its Realization.
 Come and enjoy the intoxicating aroma of the perfumed flora, the gorgeous purple of the flowering saffron crocus source of the highly valued spice - saffron.
 You can see the splendid flowering of saffron on our farm
in November – a carpet of purple flowers.
Each crocus has an orange stigma peeking out - the
source of the   most expensive spice in the world.
   
 
 

 

 

 

 

Guided tours of the flowering must be ordered in advance.  
 What We Offer (by pre-arrangement only)
 
 A Walking Tour

We start at the Khan – a desert inn   
built of local stone, with a cup of herbal tea and cake where we begin our tale of a pioneering Negev farm.

Then we take a short walk along Nahal Heimin to experience the world of the desert, returning to the Khan by way of
an agricultural area and through rows
of the farm's perfumed flower beds.
