(JNi.media) Carmel Crops, a family owned farm located in a village in Israel’s Jezreel Valley, last week turned lemons into a heaping glass of lemonade, which received, so far, mostly congratulations from their customers. The company announced over its Facebook page:
“We want to share with you a complaint we received recently from one of our customers, regarding a frog that was found in one of our lettuce packages. This is a rare event in our daily routine, it isn’t right and of course the customer was compensated.”
“However,” the statement continues, “it is important to know that our Salanova lettuce is grown on a hydroponic surface, which allows us to avoid using pesticides, and so, in nature, as opposed to what goes on in industry, the animals want to stay alive and they try everything to reach our crops. Since we grow most of our vegetables without pesticides, we provide fresh vegetables clear of toxins, which are delicious, have high-quality and enjoy a long shelf life.”
And so, continues the pitch, “Who is this frog who dared to penetrate our hothouse? It’s the Hyla savignyi, an amphibian species living in puddles and on green plants in irrigated fields and gardens. It is active at night and during the day hides in secret places: clinging to shaded leaves and stems to keep its skin from drying out. Also — the Hyla savignyi is an endangered species.
“So why are we telling you this?” the Carmel Crops people are asking, and answering, “Because one of the main reasons for the disappearance of these amphibians is environmental pollution and the use of harmful pesticides: their moist skin is highly pervious to many substances, including pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers, which are all dangerous to amphibians.
“Which means that the presence of the Hyla savignyi in our greenhouse growth indicates a sterile environment that does not contain pesticides and harmful insects. It serves as further proof that we are on the right track with our vision to produce and promote a healthy and balanced diet for the people of our country.”
Needless to say, the frog was alive when it was discovered inside the package.
In a couple of days, the Facebook entry received 6,409 likes, 835 shares, and 444 comments, by and large positive, praising both the company’s honesty and purity. That’s a lot of lemonade.
Isrealites how can you people keep deaf ears to the killing of igbos which are the Christians In Nigeria?
How cute is that? I hope the little guy was released into a safe area. It ain't easy being green!
turning lemons to lemonade was always a Jewish trait until Isis and hamas learned the method! we in turn, turned to be the little children they were, and started complaining and moaning :"look what they are doing to us ?" hey ! with brains we can beat them!if we act with brains !
Brilliant propoganda gets results! calling for someones annihilation? never worked not even for Hitler…

Great story! Good for the Frog, good for the people eating the Lettuce, Good for the producers of Israel!
It’s not the people, it’s the government. And in case your not aware, they are under major threat right now. They have a lot of problems unadressed.
Good reason
Israel had approached to help, but you can’t force help, it must be wanted by that country
we are different people that is why they are killing us because we are asking for our right which is self determination
As a former herpetologist AND kashrut inspector for leafy vegetables in Gush Katif – the customer should feel reassured by the live tree frog found in the lettuce package for the reasons stated above. Thanks JP for printing the story.
I am confused by Ora Cooper's comment–did the frog call for someone's "annihilation"? Is the lettuce grower trying to kill customers with frogs in their products? Or did the poor frog go on to frog heaven? I honestly don't quite understand how the lettuce grower's comments really are equal to calling for anyone's "annihilation"!
I hope the frog was released from the bag of lettuce and went on it's merry way.
