Planting Season once again

3/3/2014

The 2014 planting season is upon us!

We have been out on the field again, marking off the grid work for our next planting. The record-breaking winter storm that hit Israel in December was harsh on the baby trees planted last year, driving home to us the need to research further into particularly cold-resistant varieties.

We are working together with Dr. Elaine Solowey and her non-profit organisation The Rare Trees Association to do the necessary research- data is diligently being gathered in the hopes that we can determine the exact variety that feels at home in this highland desert region so that farmers who come after us will start out with best chances possible for success. 


Contributions for this research may now receive tax deductions. Contact us for information about how to do so: arganhanegev@gmail.com 

(the "donate" button on the web site is only for those who want to donate directly to us - contributions made in this way are not eligible for a tax deduction)

This year we have 12 varieties from higher altitude regions of Morocco that will be planted, as well as planned studies into three forms of plant protection from the winds of this valley.

The good news is that many farmers here are now considering argan as a crop and we are happy to be part of the process-

Many thanks to all of our supporters and friends worldwide- greetings from Mitzpe Ramon!
