Two multimedia presentations here:
First, a fast historical recap. Yotvata was the first settlement in the Arava – starting in the middle of nowhere in 1957, surrounded by a remote desert wilderness, far from any major population center.
On move-in day, David Ben-Gurion famously said: “dare, persevere, succeed!”
And then – the “dairy they dared to dream.” Hardly anyone believed that milk cows could thrive in the middle of a desert… but the Yotvata dairy grew into a national leader in its industry. Watch this lively video and see how.
