Car
If you're driving, head towards Route 40. From the north, take Route 40 south until you reach the junction with Route 25. Turn left onto Route 25 and continue for about 10 kilometers. Look for signs for Yaar Lahav (יער להב) and take the exit that leads you to the forest area. Follow the road until you see the entrance to Farm Shwadron on your right. There is free parking available at the site.
Bus
You can take a bus from major cities in the Negev, such as Be'er Sheva. Check the Egged bus schedule for routes heading to the region. You will likely need to get off at a stop near the junction of Route 25. From there, you may need to walk approximately 3 kilometers to reach Farm Shwadron. Alternatively, some local taxi services may be available at the bus stop to take you directly to the farm for a small fee, typically around 50-70 NIS.
Taxi
If you are in the vicinity of Yaar Lahav, you can hire a taxi to take you directly to Farm Shwadron. Make sure to agree on a price beforehand, as it may range from 50-100 NIS depending on your starting point. Taxis are often available in larger towns or can be booked via ride-sharing apps.
Bike
For the more adventurous, consider biking from nearby towns if you are physically fit. The ride can be scenic, taking you through the desert landscape. Ensure you have a reliable map or GPS, as trails can be less marked. It’s advisable to bring plenty of water and snacks, as facilities may be limited along the way.
