Bethlehem of Galilee, in the fields south of the moshav, Bethlehem of Galilee
A spice and medicinal-herb farm in the fields of Bethlehem of Galilee, with a shop of more than a thousand spices and the Cider café
Derech Hatavlinim is the Zitershpiler family's spice farm in the fields of Bethlehem of Galilee: Avi Zitershpiler, who has grown spices since he was eight alongside his father Zvi, one of the pioneers of spice growing in Israel, opened it to visitors in 2003. Its visitor centre and shop, along an oak-lined path, holds more than a thousand spices, medicinal herbs, gourmet blends and infusions and a large market of dried fruit, and the farm grows dozens of species of spices and herbs in organic fields; groups come for tours, lectures and cooking workshops by arrangement. Cider, the farm's café, serves a dairy menu that changes with the seasons, with breakfast, sandwiches, salads and pastries, in an air-conditioned hall or in the shade facing the spice fields. On Saturdays there are workshops for children, and a tractor ride through the spice fields.

The Jezreel Valley religious council's list of supervised businesses on the Ministry of Religious Services' kashrut portal, read on 5 October 2026, carries "דרך התבלינים" in Bethlehem of Galilee as a factory making spices and medicinal herbs. Its own site says the spices, blends and infusions are kosher under the rabbinate and the Badatz Beit Yosef. The list does not name the café, which is open on Saturdays. It is listed as wheelchair accessible on derech-hatavlinim.co.il.
The religious council's kosher list names its operator as בית הרחה בע"מ. The Companies Registrar lists דרך התבלינים (בית הרחה גלילי) בע"מ, company number 513358846, registered in Bethlehem of Galilee: an active private company, incorporated on 5 January 2003. Jezreel Valley Regional Council does not publish its business licence register online, so the licence could not be checked.
