Al-Farradiyya had a thriving agricultural sector. It was known for its model, experimental farm. It had an arboretum, and provided extension services for the farmers from both the Acre and Safad districts nd gave them advice on poultry production methods and beekeeping. People from neighboring villages took refuge in al-Farradiyya in early May, as they fled out of the path of Operation Yiftach. Many of its residents seem to have remained their homes until February 1949, when the final assault on the village began. Some villagers were evicted to village under Israeli control and others expelled to the Triangle area ( Nablus -Tulkarm -Jinin) on the West Bank. 2 Israeli settlements are on village lands. The site is deserted. Some segments of it are wooded and serve as Israeli recreation grounds.
