Morning in Aik Berik Village begins with simple footsteps.
Not the sound of machines, but flowing water, roosters crowing, and farmers walking toward their fields and gardens.
In Aik Berik, most residents are farmers. Yet farming here is more than an occupation—it is a way of life. Every seed planted and every stream guided to the rice fields carries a deep sense of responsibility toward the land that sustains them.
The farmers of Aik Berik understand that the forests above the village are the source of their water. That is why they protect the trees as they protect the future of their children. Cutting trees carelessly is unthinkable, and damaging a spring is considered a wound to the village itself.
Here, humans and nature move side by side. Farmers cultivate rice, coffee, and cacao, while also planting values—patience, togetherness, and respect for nature.
As tourism slowly grows, the people of Aik Berik hold firmly to the same principle: nature is not something to be exploited, but preserved and passed on.
