חוות הלימוד, Educational farm in Jerusalem, Israel
The Learning Farm is an educational facility in Jerusalem that combines classroom instruction with hands-on agricultural work. The facility offers academic preparation courses and maintains garden spaces on its grounds in the Arnona district.
Rachel Yanait Ben-Zvi founded the farm in the 1920s initially in the Rehavia neighborhood as an agricultural training center. The operation was later moved to a location near the Governor's Palace.
The institution combines traditional farming education with academic preparation, offering programs in mathematics, English, and other subjects for students entering higher education.
Visitors can attend preparation courses that run over several weeks to strengthen academic foundations across different subjects. The site is accessible on foot or by public transit, and it is best to verify current opening hours before visiting.
During the 1948 Independence War, the grounds provided shelter for wounded soldiers during the fighting near the Governor's Palace. This history links the farm's educational mission with a significant moment in Jerusalem's military past.
