Ma'on, Har Hebron, Israeli moshav settlement in Judean Hills, Israel.
Description
Ma'on is an Israeli moshav settlement in the Judean Hills situated at about 770 meters elevation, with residential neighborhoods and agricultural fields spread across the elevated terrain. It operates a shared dairy facility with about 400 cows run jointly with the neighboring settlement of Carmel.
History
The settlement was founded in 1981 by the Israeli military's Nahal program as a military outpost, with civilian settlers arriving in 1982. This model was typical of how many settlements in the region were established during that era.
Culture
The settlement operates on a cooperative model where residents share agricultural resources and make decisions together, while managing their own land individually. This shared approach shapes daily life and creates a tight-knit community centered on farming.
Practical
The terrain is hilly and relatively high in elevation, so visiting requires appropriate footwear and preparation for variable weather conditions. As with many private settlements, visitors should arrange ahead or familiarize themselves with local guidelines.
Did you know?
The location at Mediterranean altitude allows the cultivation of grapes, cherries, tomatoes, and olives, crops that are challenging to grow in most of the surrounding region. This combination of plant and livestock farming demonstrates how the elevated terrain shapes agricultural choices.
