Ein HaHoresh (Hebrew: עֵין הַחוֹרֵשׁ, lit. "the plower's spring" / "the plowman's fountain") is a kibbutz in central Israel. Located to the north of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 874.[1]

History

It was founded in November 1931 by Hashomer Hatzair members from Eastern Europe who reclaimed the land. It was one of the first settlements in the northern part of the Emek Hefer.[2] The kibbutz derived its name from Wadi al-Hawarith (Arabic: وادي الحوارث, lit. 'valley of ploughmen'), the Arab name for the region.

The kibbutz was cordoned off and occupied by the British in December 1945 in connection with the struggle for free immigration. It was cordoned off and occupied by the British again in June 1946 along with its neighbor, Givat Haim. As part of the war effort, the kibbutz stepped up its food production.[2] By 1947 the kibbutz had a population of 450.[2] In 2005 it went through a privatization process.[3]

Economy

Pachmas Packaging, founded on the kibbutz in 1935, manufactures and markets rigid packaging for industrial markets.[4] Other economic branches are intensive citrus farming and milch cattle breeding.
