Ein HaHoresh

It was founded in November 1931 by Hashomer Hatzair members from Eastern Europe. It was one of the first European settlements in the northern part of the Emek Hefer. The name of the kibbutz originates from a mistranslation of the Arabic name for the area, Wadi al-Hawarith () which was mistakenly translated as "valley of ploughmen." In fact, it originally referred to a Bedouin tribe that had arrived in the area from Egypt. The kibbutz was cordoned off and occupied by the British in December 1945 in connection with the struggle for free immigration. It was cordoned off and occupied by the British again in June 1946 along with its neighbor, Givat Haim. As part of the war effort, the kibbutz stepped up its food production. By 1947 the kibbutz had a population of 450. ==Economy==

Pachmas Packaging, founded on the kibbutz in 1935, manufactures and markets rigid packaging for industrial markets. Other economic branches are intensive citrus farming and milch cattle breeding. ==Climate==
