Agricultural Farms in Gitit — Types

In Gitit, the "farm" is not in the sense of an American ranch — but an active agricultural plot with a residential house. The common types include:

1. Date Farms: 5-30 dunams of Medjool orchards. Expected income 100-400K ₪/year.
2. Vegetable Farms: Winter crops in greenhouses (pepper, tomatoes). Intensive work, stable profitability.
3. Herb Farms: Boutique crops (za'atar, mint, spearmint) for the local European market.
4. Mixed Farms: A combination of crops to reduce risk.

The Religious-National Community of Gitit

Gitit is a distinctly religious-national community, making it particularly attractive for religious-national families:

• Central synagogue, community rabbi, Torah classes
• Religious education for all ages — kindergarten, Mamlachti school, high school
• Active community center with classes
• Community Sabbath observance

For secular families — Gitit is less suitable. Rotem or the northern valley settlements are more appropriate.

Purchase Process — What to Know

Gitit is a community settlement, not a classic agricultural moshav. The practical difference:

• The houses are private (ownership / long-term lease), not subject to association rights
• Agricultural farms are separate from the houses — it is possible to buy a farm without a residential house, or vice versa
• The acceptance committee checks religious-national compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you pass the acceptance committee in a religious-national community?

The committee in Gitit examines: observance of commandments, religious education for children, commitment to the community. The process includes an interview with the community rabbi and meetings with community members. It takes 3-5 months.

Is a farm worthwhile as an investment for someone who does not live in Gitit?

Less recommended. A farm requires daily maintenance — it cannot be managed remotely. It is possible to hire a local manager, but this greatly reduces profitability.

What is the travel time to Jerusalem?

About 55 minutes via Route 90. Ma'ale Efraim is 15 minutes. Most residents work in the valley area or from home.
