2. Farm Visits:
Visiting working farms is a central element of rural tourism in Israel. Travelers can engage in hands-on activities like harvesting fruits and vegetables, tending to farm animals, or participating in traditional agricultural practices. This offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, learn about sustainable farming techniques, and gain insight into local agricultural traditions.
