This building once housed the station’s communication room. It was erected in the mid-1930s, during the period of British operation, and unlike the older Ottoman-era structures with their tiled roofs, this one was given a flat roof. A single telephone line connected the station to the outside world, and inside stood a manual switchboard, its circuits opened and closed with the turn of a hand-crank.
A walk through the fields with Mr. Barak Sagi in Kfar Yehoshua turns into a quiet masterclass in wild gathering. Our first stop was Iris Ben-Zvi’s organic farm, where the soil itself feels like a guide. Sorrel, Galium aparine, Lamium amplexicaule, wild beet, green arum, Chenopodium murale, and bright, lemony Oxalis — each plant adding its own note to the early-season palette, and all of them reminding how alive the landscape becomes when you know where to look.
