In the lush rolling landscapes of Raub, Pahang once renowned for its gold, a new treasure now thrives: durian orchards. Among one of these orchards is a 10-acre (4ha) farm, where rows of durian trees stand tall and proud alongside free-roaming chickens, creating a harmonious ecosystem that reflects the ethos of its owner.

Eric Ng, at 54, is not your typical farmer.

His farm is dedicated to sustainable practices and focuses on producing high-quality eggs and fruits.
