Agronen self-picking
The first goal leading our activities in the harvesting area is full accessibility for all ages and all types of the population!
We put a lot of thought into opening the site in any weather. Preparation of access roads, parking, entrance plaza, walkways and covered passageways and, of course, grow greenhouses that can be closed.
In the spring season, most of the picking area is covered with a shade net, provided that many foggers will come in to work.
Agronen self-picking fence
Agronan self-harvesting is an agricultural area covering about 40 dunams of land.
The beginning of the “journey” was in 1995 with the planting of the first black raspberry area, in the scope of only one dunam.
Over the years, we planted additional areas of black raspberries, mulberry trees, pitango, and sycamore.
We built a dedicated greenhouse for strawberries. We planted special varieties of red raspberries, added a plot of pomegranates and for dessert… we added a plot of blueberries!
The first goal leading our activities in the harvesting area is full accessibility for all ages and all types of the population!
All raspberries grow on the dahlia system so that the fruits are from the ground level up to two meters.
The 4000 square meter strawberry greenhouse was specially designed so that the field strawberries grow in the air, on two floors, a situation that allows easy and convenient picking for children and adults alike, and of course convenient and easy access to strollers and wheelchairs.
We built a 300 square meter underground tunnel for strawberries, in the air, on two floors, with large passages
And this in order to allow the arrival of groups during the week. This tunnel is adapted for a population with special needs.
The trees growing in the picking area: strawberries, pitango, shasak and pomegranates, are pruned and tied in a special way so that the fruit can be picked easily and conveniently.
Health (no less important)
The extermination in the field is a combined biological extermination with monitoring and supervision by the company Siegal-advanced solutions for plant protection Ltd. and with the assistance of the Bio-Be company in all matters related to the biological extermination with the help of natural enemies.
All this in order to be able to eat all the variety of fruits, directly from the plants, without the need for washing.
