An authentic silk & honey farm located in moshav Shadmot Dvora at the foothill of Mount Tabor in the Lower Galilee - Dvorat Hatavor is a unique visitors center inviting visitors to join a live demonstration of the production of honey and silk (the only active silk farm in Israel) as it was done by the Ben Zeev family since the moshav was founded in 1939 as part of the original tower and stockade villages
The tour includes activities for children (suitable for children from the age of 3) as well as explanations regarding the healing capacities of honey and other bee's products.
The farm which is a known tourist attraction for more than 17 years was redesigned to be suitable to welcome & accommodate visitors with handicaps. It includes all the necessary facilities such as parking, toilets, kiosk and a gift shop in which you can find pure locally made honey, souvenirs & holiday sweet gift baskets. The farm is open daily all year long thanks to the Mediterranean climate, from 09:00 to 15:00; you are more than welcome to call ahead and schedule a complete tour in English.
