Gan Shmuel, Agricultural kibbutz in Menashe Regional Council, Israel.
Gan Shmuel is a settlement in northern Israel that spans cultivated land with citrus orchards and food production facilities. The site sits at a modest elevation and blends agricultural areas with industrial operations.
The place grew from a citron orchard planted in 1896 as a memorial to Rabbi Shmuel Mohliver. Its formal establishment as a communal settlement came in 1913, marking the beginning of collective life there.
The community runs a gallery housed in a converted barn where resident and visiting artists display their work. These cultural spaces reflect how the settlement blends agricultural traditions with contemporary art and community gatherings.
The settlement is accessible by road from nearby towns and sits close to Hadera. Visitors can explore the outdoor areas to see the mix of fruit trees and production facilities.
The settlement operates a food processing plant that exports products to dozens of countries, extending its reach far beyond the region. The community has also invested in vegan food production and other contemporary agricultural methods.
