One of the businesses from around the country that will offer their wares in the market is Kerem Achinoam – a boutique vineyard located at the foot of Mount Hermon and offering a delicate blend of Barnea and Esquel olives. The vineyard was established by the Edri family. A family with deep roots in the Land of Israel – over twelve generations in the Galilee. Love for the land, true Zionism and love of man are what made the dream of establishing the vineyard a reality.
The vineyard is named after Noa, the father of the family, a man of the Galilee, a native of Safed who was a fighter for justice and worked extensively in his life for the benefit of others. His sons followed in his footsteps and founded the Achinoam Association for the Advancement of Equal Opportunities.

The installation reads: "The logic of disaster is always a betrayal of nature. Even a man-made disaster is in a deep sense a betrayal of nature. Like a river that overwhelmed an old, neglected dam, like a dormant volcano, so did war. Something in the existing order has been violated. The logic of disaster is always a betrayal of nature, but nature has never signed an agreement with us. The volcano promised nothing, not even the sea and the winds. It was us who saw in a calm period a signed commitment..."
