History
The moshav was established in 1923 when Ben Shemen was split in two, with a group of trial farms eventually becoming a separate moshav, Kerem Ben Shemen. It's name is taken from Isaiah 5:1: "My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill."

gollark: I want to feed that directly to an ingot former.
gollark: Basically, the melter makes 1 ore into 2.5 ingots, apparently.
