Kurlender farm was such a wonderful find during our stay in Israel! Everyone working there was so nice and accommodating to us. They had someone take us on a private tour in English and she was wonderful, taking her time to explain the day to day life on the farm.

And nobody went hungry with the platters of cheeses, crackers, dips, olives and wine...
Read moreAnother incredible and memorable visit to Kurlender Farm (our second visit). We enjoyed touring the farm and interacting with the sweet calves.

Take as much or as little time as you have, you will...
