The Almond Farm was excavated during the 1980's in the frame of Tel Nitzana excavations on behalf of the Jewish Agency and Ben Gurion University. The Almond Farm is an ancient runoff farm from the 6-8th Centuries C. E. and the name is given since there is an old almond tree planted there by the Bedouins several decades ago. The tree is evidence of the continued functioning of the ancient farm in terms of water collection. The tree was studied recently by Julie Goldenetz from the University of Arizona in early 2006. The activity in Nitzana in 2006 focused on the maintainence of the JNF plantation in the ancient farm and preparing one more farm for plantation - the Almond Farm, an ancient runoff farm from the 6-8th Centuries C.
