Today, the local economy hums with the steady pulse of farming, with livestock and cereals forming the backbone of its sustenance, while a burgeoning interest in artisanal produce and local wines hints at a future as diverse as its storied past. The spirit of Mount Camel is one of enduring character, a place where the land, its history, and its people are inextricably bound.
