Kramim (Hebrew: כְּרָמִים, lit. Vineyards) is a kibbutz in southern Israel founded in 1980 by an urban society group organized by the kibbutz movement.[1] Located around a kilometer west of Meitar, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bnei Shimon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 75.
Economy
The kibbutz grows peaches, potatoes, carrots, garlic, peppers and wheat in collaboration with Kibbutz Lahav and Kibbutz Shomria, and has recently planted olive orchards alongside its wine-grape vineyards. The Kibbutz industries also operates Gan Hakramim Country Lodging and a chicken coop.[2] Enlight Renewable Energy entered a leasing agreement with Kibbutz Kramim to build a 5 megawatt photo-voltaic solar field on the kibbutz's land.[3]
