Ganei Hadar

Ganei Hadar is a cooperative settlement in central Israel's low hills region, situated among farmland near Rehovot within the Gezer Regional Council. The place combines residential areas with agricultural spaces that allow residents to live alongside cultivation and natural surroundings.

The settlement began in 1958 as part of a regional development push to establish new farming communities in central Israel. Its creation followed the model of cooperative communities that were being established during that era.

The settlement functions as a community where residents gather for shared activities and maintain cooperative traditions that shape daily interaction. Social life centers on collective spaces and common projects that tie the inhabitants together.

The settlement connects to nearby towns through regional roads, giving access to services and supplies in Rehovot and surrounding areas. Keep in mind the place is designed for residents rather than visitors, so services may be limited.

The place maintains an uncommon arrangement where homes and farmland sit directly alongside each other, a model less common in modern Israeli communities. This mix lets residents stay connected to where their food actually comes from.
