The Bar Farm In The Desert

My story

In 2002, I founded Menat Madbar Farm, an individual agricultural tourist farm located in the south of the country, near Sde Boker.

Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the war, all bookings for the months of October and November were canceled, leaving us without a livelihood and struggling to meet payments. We need help to  survive this challenging period and to revitalize and sustain our business.

Micro lending, Macro Impact

The farm comprises two family guesthouses and a lodging house for hosting groups. Our peak tourist season spans from October to the end of June.Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the war, all bookings for the months of October and November were canceled, leaving us without a livelihood and struggling to meet payments. A loan is essential to help us survive this challenging period and to revitalize and sustain our business.

My name is Lilac Bar Meshulam and Minat Desert Farm has been my and my family's home for 21 years.

Even as a little girl growing up in the city of Sderot, I always dreamed of starting a farm and making the desert bloom.
