Israel’s one and only buffalo farm

It’s not every day that you sip coffee topped with buffalo milk. But that’s exactly what I enjoyed on a recent sunny morning at the Buffalo Farm in southern Israel with Natalie, ISRAEL21c’s social media coordinator.

The picturesque Moshav Bitzaron Farm is a family business run by Chanoch Trister, whose father brought buffalo from Italy to Israel in the early 1990s, and whose grandfather was one of the founders of the farming community in the early 1930s.
