Gan Yoshiya

Gan Josiah occupies a location at 31 meters elevation in central Israel, surrounded by agricultural fields and neighboring settlements in the Hefer Valley region.

The agricultural practices of Gan Josiah residents focus on crop production and livestock management, maintaining traditional moshav cooperative principles.

The settlement contains approximately 998 residents as of 2019 and maintains connections with neighboring communities including Olesh, Channiel, and Bet ha-Lewi.
