About

The Farmer's Farmstead in the Square

Have you heard about Indian cucumbers, red corn, white eggplant and the ‘love cherry’? These and many more special fruits and veggies await you at the ‘Farmer’s Farmstead in the Square’ – Moshe Medina’s agricultural farm in Kikar Sodom.

Thanks to the salinity of the soil and the conditions in the area, the vegetables and fruits that Moshe grows have a wonderful, sweet and addictive flavor.

On the agricultural tours that take place at the site, you will hear fascinating stories about the history of Jewish settlement in the Arava, you can pick-your-own fruit/veg and taste all the new varieties and sense, for a few moments, the simple connection to the fruit of the soil.
A fascinating experience for the whole family, also suitable for small and large groups.

Moshe Novomeysky Visitor Center

Near Highway 90 in the south of the Dead Sea on your way to a perfect vacation in the  Dead Sea, Judean Desert or Eilat, you’ll encounter a fascinating story about the vision,  determination, and entrepreneurship of a Zionist pioneer with a dream to develop  industry in the Land of Israel. A story that is not recounted enough as it constitutes a  central part of the Zionist ethos and the renewal of the Jewish home in the Land of Israel.  The visitor center preserves and restores the Palestine Potash Company, which  was active from 1934 until the early 1950s, and the worker’s camps of the company  plants.  You’ll see up close the way of working and living in this isolated part of the  country, and the vision and determination of people who not only dreamed, but  also executed their plans despite the difficulties.  The visitor center tour is led by a guide. During the tour, you’ll pass through  several of the camp’s structures, which have been restored, adapted, and made  accessible to those with limited mobility.  You’ll start in the Dead Sea model hall, an innovative and spectacular model that  illustrates the formation of the Dead Sea rift and the many unique features which  have attracted people to its shores over the millennia.  You’ll then continue on to the dining hall of the worker’s camp. The structure has  been restored and here you’ll meet Moshe Novomeysky, a mining engineer born  in Siberia who first arrived on the Dead Sea’s shores in 1911, and founded the  Palestine Potash Company in 1929.  Later on, with the help of virtual reality glasses, you’ll be able to enter into the  worker’s camp when it was most crowded and truly feel immersed in the history  of the place and the worker’s daily lives.  You’ll learn about the staff’s heroic struggle during the War of Independence,  and the camp’s continuation after the war.  The tour will conclude with explaining the importance of Dead Sea mineral  extraction, highlighting the activity of current Dead Sea plants and the fine line  between environmental conservation and economic development.  The visitor center is accessible to those with limited mobility.
