Mission
Our mission is to develop a sustainable farm with a focus on health, wellness & education for all people who are interested in visiting and participating. It is also a unique getaway destination surrounded by a vibrant farm for those who wish to 'own' a share in the Land of Israel. StayTru is a stomping ground that belongs to everyone.
Goals
Ambitious and vast, our vision boils down to rebuilding the Land of Israel by giving people the opportunity to be apart of the movement in tangible ways. We look for empowered people with leadership abilities seeking the opportunity to shine and to be apart of the wave. Together, as we use our history as a road map, we create amazing things for generations to come. Our 2020 vision is clear, check out the briefs below to get a better idea of where we are heading.
01. Farm
–
Our team of experts crafted a masterplan where our eco-system is completely self sufficient, nearly waste free and cutting edge. Animals, vegetation, hydroponics and indigenous resources work in harmony. We are looking to raise the capital necessary to get out of the sky and on the ground working the field.
02. Learn
–
The land is able to host indoor and outdoor gatherings of all kinds where farming can be taught drawing inspration from the Torah. Groups small and large are welcomed to be inspired with what we do or even host their own events with our beautiful land as the foundation and back drop for their gathering.
03. Volunteer
–
Roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty cultivating something that grows. StayTru facilitates partnerships between people passing through -or staying for longer- who seek for work/live opportunities. Volunteers are placed based on interest and skill sets in exchange for housing and meals.
04. Own
–
If you've ever wanted to own a piece of land in Israel but have not been able to Staytru now offers time share opportunities that are attainable without needing a large capital investment to buy in. Imagine having your own place you can call home on a beautiful farm in Israel every time you visit. Learn more.

History
Located in the Valley of Springs aka Beit Shan Valley nestled between Jordan the Gilboah mountains off round 90, less than 2 hours away from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
In the Talmud there is an opinion that the if the Garden of Eden was located in Israel it would be located in the Beit Shan Valley tucked away amongst dozens if natural springs and crystal clear pools. Historically when king Saul fell on his sword and died it was near the Gilboa mountains. King David was heartbroken (despite being chased by king Saul) and he stood on the mountain and cursed the valley. King David's language was that the valley would withhold it's blessings and in the verse says 'sdei trumot' fields of bounty. We have actively been lifting the curse through the purchase of the land, calling the farm Stay Tru (after its location and holy implications) and using the land as a means for gathering and doing good things to rectify the curse.
