Sde Moshe

Sde Moshe is an agricultural settlement in the Lakhish region where families run independent farms while coordinating marketing and purchasing through cooperative organizations. The village features farming infrastructure and communal management structures that support year-round cultivation.

Founded in 1956, the village was part of a broader regional development that established new agricultural settlements in Lakhish. The Jewish Agency for Israel supported such settlements as part of a larger initiative in the area.

Life here revolves around shared farming work and communal gatherings that bring families together throughout the year. People maintain their independence in home and property management while participating in the cooperative practices that define the village.

The settlement is accessible and offers basic facilities for visitors interested in seeing agricultural work firsthand. The best time to visit is during planting and harvest seasons when farm activity is most visible.

Families here blend traditional farming methods with modern techniques, allowing them to remain competitive while preserving local knowledge. This balance reflects how the community adapts to changing agricultural demands.
