'Kibbutz Yotvata' (
Hebrew: יטבתה) is a
kibbutz along the
Arava road in the southern
Negev in
Israel.
It is one of the most successful and stable ''kibbutzim'' in Israel because of its famed
dairy business and its chain of vegetarian-dairy restaurants. The dairies of Kibbutz
Yahel,
Lotan, and
Ketura provide
milk for Yotvata.
