The Zitershpiler family has been growing spice for more than 50 years. Avi Zitershpiler, the owner of the farm, has absorbed the values of agriculture, landscape, nature and man since childhood, growing up and growing spice with his father Zvi, one of the pioneers of the spice industry in Israel.
After his military service in the Faculty of Agriculture and later in Naturoptia, Avi Zitershpiler has been continuously growing, processing, producing and marketing spices and herbs in Israel and around the world.
Spice Way Farm was founded on the work of Tzvi Ziterphiler, one of the early pioneers of Israel’s spice industry. His son Avi grew up learning directly from him, then went on to serve in the Ministry of Agriculture during his military service and later studied naturopathy. Long before establishing the farm, Avi had already spent years growing, processing, and marketing herbs and spices in Israel and around the world. Today, Spice Way Farm operates in Bethlehem of the Galilee, where it continues to cultivate, process, and blend spices with the same hands-on agricultural knowledge. The farm also welcomes visitors to experience the full range of Israeli herbs and spices at its visitor center, where the work of the field connects directly to what reaches the kitchen.
