Gan Yoshiya

Gan Yoshiya, Agricultural moshav in Hefer Valley Regional Council, Israel.

Description

Gan Yoshiya is an agricultural moshav in the Hefer Valley of central Israel, featuring a mix of residential homes and surrounding farmland. The settlement follows the traditional moshav layout with private family farms and shared community resources.

History

The settlement was founded in 1949 by former Palmach soldiers of Romanian Jewish background seeking to build a new agricultural community. They quickly developed farming systems that remain central to life here today.

Culture

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

The moshav sits in a relatively flat valley with good road connections to neighboring communities and regional towns. Visitors can best explore the landscape by car or bicycle to view the farms and open fields.
