One day I suddenly heard lots of people in the olive - garden. It said pling - pling – in the pots. When I looked out, I saw many Bedouins who stood and picked the olives from the Exodus Nord’s garden. I went out and said that the olives were private so they could not come here and just pick. They stood there, laughed and smiled and picked just ahead. During an hour, they had almost picked all the olives. There were only a few left. It has repeatedly been others here who wanted to pick, so because of that we put our guests to retrieve what was left on the trees. We also got a little weeding in the olive - gardens and also in the garden around the house before we guided our guests on a trip to Ezuz and Shivta.

The Ramat Ha Negev Agriculture Visitor Center is close to Ashalim

Perhaps even more interesting since we come from the "tomato- island" Finnøy.

They mixed salt groundwater with clean water and needed not to add minerals

Their specialty was cherry tomatoes, but they experimented with many other strange

Some minutes from Ashalim is a beautiful spa called Oasis.
