Kfar Baruch

The settlement sits at 58 meters above sea level in northern Israel, with carefully arranged residential areas and agricultural fields surrounding the community center.

The agricultural settlement maintains traditional cooperative practices where families work together while managing individual plots, supporting regional farming initiatives.

Located near Afula, the moshav falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council and maintains a population of 709 residents as of 2022.

Archaeological excavations near Kfar Baruch revealed a tomb with two chambers containing an ossuary inscribed with 'Iudas son of Thaddeus' from the first century.
