Ashkenazi farm was established when the families of Ashkenazi and Ben-Basat immigrated to Israel at the beginning of the previous century, together with a group of Bulgarian pioneers, and in 1928 founded Beit Hanan settlement. It was there that Moshe of Ashkenazi family, and Levanna of Ben-Basat family, have met, married and started a farm.They built a chicken coop for egg-laying chickens, a goat pen, and grew plantations and pecan orchards.
