About us
Clil Farm is built on the foundations of The Organic Garden in Clil, established in 2015 in the ecological village of Clil in the Western Galilee. Spanning nine dunams (approximately 2.2 acres), the farm operates according to a productive, regenerative agriculture model that combines intensive vegetable production, traditional organic cultivation, orchard management, and ecological landscape design.
The farm integrates productive agriculture with vocational rehabilitation in the field of mental health. Participants take part in all aspects of the farm’s operations, gaining practical experience and professional skills while progressing toward long-term employment. The model strengthens both local agriculture and employment opportunities in the region.
As part of the rehabilitation and renewal of Northern Israel, the farm is founded on the belief that strengthening local agriculture and expanding employment opportunities are complementary elements in building regional resilience. The farm’s produce is sold directly to the public through the farm shop,
Who We Are
The Farm in klil has been operating for 11 years in the ecological village of “klil” in the Western Galilee. Over the years, the farm has become an active community hub, attracting residents, families, and volunteers – a vibrant living community surrounded by fields and greenery.
At the farm’s entrance, an organic shop offers the farm’s produce, locally sourced goods, and other organic products.
Building on our experience and the community that has grown around us, we are embarking on a new path: establishing a therapeutic and vocational program for people with mental health challenges, based on the farm’s existing agricultural activity and creating a meaningful avenue for healing and employment.
Integrated Model
In the North, which was severely affected by the recent war, the need for supportive spaces and a caring community is greater than ever. Launching our therapeutic program here is a statement of rebuilding and renewal – creating a place of stability, hope, and future.
We are establishing a unique therapeutic-vocational program for people with mental health challenges. This is a community hungry for opportunity – individuals with abilities, motivation, and drive, who struggle to find their place within existing frameworks. At the farm, participants will have the chance to engage in agricultural work, support the community shop, and participate in productive activities, alongside emotional support, a supportive group, a sense of belonging, and therapeutic tools.
This model combines workplace features with a rehabilitative framework, enabling participants to build a meaningful and sustainable employment path—integrating and creating real change in their lives.
It is a model that merges meaningful productive work with a professional rehabilitative support system, within a natural, humane, stable, and supportive environment.
Our Vision
Clil Farm develops a model where productive agriculture and vocational development work together as one system.
People learn and grow through hands-on work with the land, while the farm produces food through regenerative, working agriculture.
The aim is to refine this model and make it possible to implement in other places as a practical framework for both farming and vocational inclusion.
What Makes Us Unique
Rehabilitation within a productive system
Participants are integrated as part of an active working farm team. Rehabilitation takes place within daily agricultural work, as part of a continuous productive system operating year-round.
Self-Sustaining Model
Agriculture and rehabilitation operate within one system. Food production sustains the activity, while agricultural work forms the basis for professional and vocational development.
Productive Farming
The farm grows a wide variety of vegetables and agricultural produce using organic and regenerative systems, as part of a professional working system that generates food and economic value.
A model for regional development
The farm is developing a working model that can be implemented in other locations, strengthening local agriculture, employment, and rehabilitation as part of regional renewal in the North.
Our Professionals
Our program was developed with guidance from professionals in rehabilitation, mental health, and business entrepreneurship. It provides holistic therapeutic support – including ecotherapy, trauma-sensitive yoga, mindfulness, and additional tools – alongside structured business planning to ensure financial and vocational stability. Professionals will accompany the program and its participants throughout the process, ensuring a high-quality and meaningful experience.
The Principle of Productivity and Sustainability
Clil Farm operates as a productive social enterprise and strives for financial self-sufficiency: organic agricultural cultivation, direct sales in the community, organic agriculture courses, ecological workshops, and an inviting space for other initiatives from the Western Galilee.
Why Your Support Matters
At this stage, we are raising the initial budget to get started – agricultural equipment, gathering spaces, and a fresh start. Your contribution is not just an investment in a project – it is a statement of solidarity with the North, with Israel, and with those who need a helping hand to begin again.
Together, we can turn wounded land into a ground of hope – and give people a real opportunity to start anew.
Impact
The farm develops a scalable working model that integrates productive agriculture with vocational rehabilitation, designed for implementation in additional locations across Israel.
The goal is to build stable work systems that enable people to enter productive employment, develop professional skills, and move toward long-term independence beyond ongoing support frameworks.
At the same time, the model strengthens local, regenerative agriculture based on planning, economic viability, and high-quality food production, contributing to a more resilient agricultural sector.
The broader impact is a new approach to agriculture in Israel—one that combines food production, employment, and long-term pathways into the workforce within a single working system.
