Rimon Farm
Rimon Farm is an ecological farm located in the Northern Negev that offers an educational and therapeutic employment framework for adolescents. We cater to youth aged 12 to 18 who are either disengaged from the educational system or at risk of dropping out, facilitating their development through sustainable farming practices within a nurturing community in an outdoor environment.
The farm operates as a productive establishment, utilizing agriculture as a therapeutic instrument that enhances individuals' sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
Since its opening in December 2021, the farm has established itself as a cornerstone for many young individuals. Every day, teenagers come to the farm to participate in a range of tasks within its different areas, such as the vineyard dedicated to wine production, the ecological orchard, the edible forest, the olive orchard, and the vegetable garden.
Our objective is to empower adolescents, supporting their commitment to work and providing them with the necessary tools and life skills to successfully integrate into society and enhance their potential for social leadership.
Adrienne was both a volunteer and a staff member at Rimon Farm, recognized for her generous spirit and deep affection for others. A proponent of peace and action, she was cherished by all who knew her. After retiring, she decided to dedicate one or two days each week to the farm, where she provided essential support to the teenagers.
She found great joy in the healing practices associated with sustainable farming and the meaningful connections formed with the youth.
Tragically, on the morning of October 7th, she was brutally murdered in her residence in Beeri.

Adrienne, you are greatly missed. We are dedicated to following in your footsteps, and may your memory serve as a source of inspiration and blessing.
נערי ונערות החווה כתבו על אדריאן:
אדריאן איזה לב זהב היה לך, כולך נשמה טהורה,
בלי זיופים ובלי דרמות, ישירות כזו,
כנות שבאה עם המון הומור וצחוק...
אני זוכרת יום שחזרתי נסערת ועצרנו לפני הכיכר ודיברנו לא יודעת כמה זמן, בכיתי הרבה, הרגעת אותי ונתת לי לפרוק ולהרגיש שיש לך את כל הזמן שבעולם בשבילי, עד שנרגעתי ויצאתי מחויכת.
אדריאן איך הייתי מחכה ליום שלישי לפגוש אותך, לקטוף ולעבוד ביחד ולדבר, היית כמו סבתא בשבילי, ואיך תמיד היית אומרת שלמרות שאנחנו ממקומות כל כך שונים אנחנו בקשר כל כך טוב.
אדריאן המון רגעים יפים היו לי איתך, היית כולך לב ונשמה..
היית תמיד מחייכת, צוחקת ועוזרת. תמיד ידעת לבוא לעזור, להגיד מילה טובה, לחזק או סתם לעשות שיחה...
תודה על הכל ותודה על מי שהיית.
