Bechor Family
The Bechor family is one of the first five families that chose to live in Beit Gan – a small village in the Lower Galilee, founded in 1903 by the Baron Rothschild.
At first, David and Rosa Bechor (the Founder’s Generation of the family) lived in a tent encampment in Beit Jann with all the other settlers. In 1910 all the Yavne’el settlers had moved to their permanent houses. In the same year, the family also became farmers. Their devotion to the vision of their own farm, led them to plant themselves in the Galilee land for generations to come.
The Bechor family coped with a lot of challenges and difficulties since the farm inception. They dealt with the forces of nature, the rule of the Turks that took place in the country during that time, the British rule, and many more challenges. Their dedication and love to the land helped them to survive anything , and they Continue to cultivate the farm with passion and love to this very day.
Attached to the ground since 1910
‘Meshek Bechor’ is a family farm, established in 1910 by David and Rosa Bechor, during the early days of the Beit Gan village in the Galilee.
Since the family arrived in Beit Gan, they began to cultivate the soil. As the days past, they learned a lot about green herbs and vegetables. They became experts, so they started to develop a variety of new and tasty greens.
Now for over a hundred years, the fourth generation of the family is keeping the tradition of the Galilean agriculture.
At the first-morning dew, with a lot of love, they pick the greens from the field. And then, without any process that can harm their taste, freshness or their nutrition values, they hurry to send the greens to markets all over the country.
Meshek Bechor is proud to be a part of Israeli agriculture and they hope their greens will bring all the love directly from their field to your plate.
