Just in time for Tu B’shvat is a Sde Eliyahu organic gift package that you can pick up after an on-site bio tour. The kibbutz where’s yours truly spent almost a year, is home to Mario Levi, Israel’s grandfather of organic gardening. The kibbutz, over the years, has branched out in a few areas and is known mostly for its bio-organic grape juice. We had the pleasure of frolicking around in the kerem (daydreaming mostly), while our friend Naomi pruned the vines. But we did work for months doing QA on the herbs and spices from the kibbutz’s factory.A couple of days of organic date picking and sorting were done by our hands, and we will never forget our friend S’s stories about squeezing pomegranate juice from the pomegranates, with a hammer. She came home red. We kid not.Anyway, take the tour, buy the package. You won’t find better people in Israel to spend a day with.::Sde Eliyahu
