ABOUT THE BUSINESS:
Yemini Farm engages in the cultivation of pest-free
leafy vegetables, for the ultra-orthodox community.
The crops include lettuce and various green vegetables,
such as parsley, coriander, dill, celery, chard and various
kinds of cabbage.
Yossi uses two principal marketing channels. The first
is designed for the Jerusalem area, and is operated by
an outside party. He operates the second himself, in
the Ashdod region, and it is targeted at the local ultra-
orthodox community. He also sells to companies, such
as Alei Katif.
The loan Yossi received from the Baltimore
Ashkelon Loan Fund helped him build the new
hothouses. Yossi is grateful for the help and
invites everyone to visit his farm, and to get a
firsthand look at agriculture and Zionism.
