At a glance
Ktofoti: Pick-Your-Own Fruit and Vegetables in Bethlehem of Galilee
At Ktofoti, the beds and branches provide the activity. Visitors pick vegetables, herbs and seasonal fruit in the fields of Bethlehem of Galilee, beside the local spice farm. It is a chance to see produce before it reaches a shop: roots still in the soil, leaves on their stems and fruit at different stages of ripeness. Families can explore the crops, hear how they are grown and take home a basket of what they have picked. The selection changes with the field, so check a favourite crop before setting out.
A visit built around the harvest
The farm describes explanations about the crops, baskets for collecting produce and tasting in the field. Which rows you use depends on the produce ready that day. Different cucumber types, blackberry varieties and stevia leaves make more sense beside the plant. Admission and takeaway baskets appear separately in the price list. Check the basket arrangements before collecting produce to take home: an entrance ticket should not be treated as unlimited takeaway shopping. The team can explain the rows open for picking and how to detach each crop.
The changing crop selection
1
Fruit and berries
Strawberries, blackberries, strawberry guava, citrus and grapes appear in the farm’s general selection. They belong to different harvest periods. This is a description of what is grown, not a promise that every fruit will be ripe on one visit.
2
Vegetable beds
Examples include cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, coloured carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, aubergines, courgettes, corn, beetroot and turnips. Ripening and new planting determine which beds visitors can use.
3
Herbs and edible leaves
Parsley, coriander, garlic, sage, rosemary, lemon balm, mint and stevia are listed. For children, these beds connect familiar kitchen smells with the plants that produce them.
Use the live crop list
Ktofoti’s availability page names the produce ready for the current period. Depending on the field, the list may feature citrus, peppers, cherry tomatoes, cabbage, herbs or aubergines. A crop mentioned in the wider description may be unavailable when you arrive. Weather, ground conditions and the amount of ripe produce also affect opening. The checked material does not establish a month-by-month calendar for every crop. A general Israeli berry season is therefore no substitute for checking this particular farm.

A family day among the beds
1
For children who like doing things
Choosing ripe produce and placing it in a basket gives the outing a clear purpose. The farm also describes feeding goats and children’s activities. Some belong to pre-arranged programmes, so check what is running on your day.
2
For adults too
The growing explanations add interest beyond the picking itself. This is agricultural ground with uneven surfaces between plants. Footwear suitable for a field is more useful than assuming a paved attraction.
3
Places to pause
The official site lists shade, tables, benches and toilets, with drinks and ice lollies available to buy. This does not establish accessible toilets or step-free routes. Discuss wheelchair or pushchair needs directly.
Guided visits with farmer Rami Horev
The group programme describes a tour with Rami Horev, a local farmer who explains the crops and agricultural work. The detailed visitor information gives around two hours for an arranged group tour. Schools, kindergartens and camps can discuss age-adapted programmes involving picking, planting, creative activities and making pita. Some children’s formats are described as lasting between one and a half and three hours. These are arrangements to discuss in advance, not a package automatically included with ordinary admission.
Cooking with the produce you pick
The farm also describes chef-led workshops: participants gather ingredients in the field and then prepare them together. The stated approximate duration is three hours. Dates, menus and prices need a separate enquiry; an ordinary picking visit does not book a cooking workshop. For celebrations and company outings, the farm mentions combining a guided walk, harvesting and a meal. The actual programme is agreed with the organisers.

Before you set out
- 1
Check the current crops
Look at the farm’s own availability page, particularly when a specific berry or vegetable is the reason for the trip.
- 2
Separate entry from takeaway produce
Confirm who pays admission and which basket suits your party. Do not assume an unlisted family package or unlimited produce.
- 3
Allow time before the cut-off
Take last admission and weather into account. The farm recommends a hat and sunscreen; prepare for walking on agricultural ground.
- 4
Follow picking instructions
Ask which rows are open and how to remove the produce. Adults need to supervise children around uneven ground, farm equipment and plants.
Finding the right entrance
Ktofoti is in the moshav of Bethlehem of Galilee in the Jezreel Valley, next to the spice farm. This is not Bethlehem near Jerusalem. Follow the Waze or Google Maps link on the farm’s own directions page rather than navigating only to the village centre. A walk past historic houses or a visit to a neighbouring agricultural business can extend the outing, but these are separate visits with their own conditions and charges.
