Good afternoon to all subscribers of "Maggie's Garden" We are always happy to cooperate with local producers, who are our partners in the "Slow food" way.
Our catering chef, Nadav Malin, reestablished the Jerusalem area slow food Community when he returned to Israel from the University of Slow food in Italy. He now presides over our artisan local food market which takes place from time to time in our courtyard in Abu Ghosh. We sponsor and carry out this market in order to create partnerships among the healthy food and beverage producers in our region. We invite you to join us for a very delicious and nutritious brunch.
In cooperation with "Maggie's Garden" you can now order our organic health cakes and foods with only natural ingredients including: spelt flour, sugar, coconut and organic fruits and vegetables (depending on the selection every week). In your next order we will send you samples of our cakes, made with organic carrots and beets.
If you wish to order our cakes, they will come to you together with your Maggie’s Garden organic produce.

Organic dates from Samar:
The palm fruit is a natural food full of nutrients. Palm dates are a sweet treat, healthy and invigorating. You may order our dates through Maggie and they will arrive with Maggie’s vegetables.
There many types of dates:
Barhi dates are special for their deep flavor of outstanding honey caramel, They are suitable for everyday consumption. They are soft and mushy, easy to peel and work with and are therefore suitable for children. Their cost is relative to their quality.
Dekel Noor dates have a delicate flavor and texture and quality. They are a hit in Arab countries. They have a slightly nutty flavor and are less sweet and concentrated relative to other species of palm. They are also suitable for making Granolas and in the kibbutz they are the veteran kibbutznik’s first choice.
Zahidi dates are medium in size, with a light shell, and relatively dry. They are the most rich in fiber and iron. They are similar in taste to the Dekel Noor. They are sold a lot in the domestic market and Europe.
Have a full week of sweetness, happiness and all the best.
Maggie and the garden staff.
