MAURY & SHIRLEY NEEMAN LOUIS & ESTHER STYBEL lann Nathan Rothstein's spirits are grown in mineral water. I says, "has resulted in many settlements gradually in- troducing organic crops. As they become more profitable, other branches are sure to make the switch to organics." Having grown vegetables the conventional way for many years, Mr. Ben Zvi swit- ched to organic farming in 1982 and later began supply- ing a wide variety of fresh vegetables to the local market. "The local market is relatively small, but growing steadily," he says. A local market is also developing for food products made from organic produce, including whole grain sesame paste (tahini) and whole-wheat noodles. In Kibbutz Harduf, founded in 1982, members take organic farming one step fur- ther, producing delectable cheeses from the milk of their 300 organically fed sheep. Their whole-grain breads are also popular all over Israel and their radishes, fennel, onions, melons, avocados and virgin oil are exported to Europe. In fact, total annual exports to Europe amount to $16 million, with 20,000 tons of organic produce being pro- duced annually. Twenty moshavim in the northern Negev have also switched to organic farming methods in recent years, for the area's excellent conditions are conducive to growing citrus, mango and a variety of vegetables for the winter ex- port market. Large quantities of compost, however, must be added to compensate for the lack of nutrients in the san- dy soil. The Israeli Association of Bio-Organic Agriculture, established in the 1970s, now has 55 grower-member kib- butzim and communal moshavim and an additional 100 private growers. The on- ly way to go is up. ❑ WZPS A Very Happy and Healthy New Year to All Our Friends and Family. n' cu JACK & HELEN REISMAN & FAMILY MR. & MRS, ABRAM WEBERMAN YanDTA TnAll mtn to all our friends and relatives. to all our friends and relatives.
