About the Farm
The Vered Hagalil Guest Farm has been at the service of guests since the early '60's. It was built by Yehuda Avni, a former Chicagoan and his Jerusalem born wife Yonah. They turned terrain strewn with boulders and thistles into a paradise of gardens, riding stables, rustic restaurant, outdoor pool, cottages and cabins. In the heart of the farm is a unique, rustic American style restaurant built of pine wood and basalt field stones.
A hearty wood-stove fire in winter, country music, from the terrace a view of horses out on pasture, with Galilee hills on the horizon. Within, aroma arising from the rich savoury menu featuring home-cooked soups, tender steaks, salads, vegetarian delicacies, farm-baked bread and pies, along with delicious items on the children's menu.
Horse riding is our specialty: pristine historic and scenic trails, Sea of Galilee, Jordan River, Western riding lessons, ponies for children. Equine activities: horse-shows, one to three-day guided trail-rides, riding-equipment shop, camp-fire cookouts.
Out of the world, midst the trees is our "Close to Nature " where aches and cares are banished via expert treatments, massages, romantic Jacuzzi, topped by a relaxed interval of herbal tea and cookies
Leisure time is well spent in the air-conditioned game room: ping-pong, classic billiard table, library and cable TV. Out in the gardens are play areas for children and picnic areas for everybody. Swimming pool is under construction and will be available late summer. we will provide tickets to another swimming pool (a few minutes drive from vered hagalil).
