The Vision: "to create a development in adherence with, and which will preserve and advance, the philosophies of 'Trihita Karana'". 'Trihit Karana' is the philosophy of the balance in the world of God, Nature and Human Beings in a harmonious worldly existence. From the Balinese cultural perspective, ''Trihita Karana' holds the three sources to human happiness. The philosophy's fundamental intention is to make all human beings happier in their life, by attempting to create a balance between human beings and each other, to create a balance between human beings and nature, and to create a balance between human beings and the Gods.

The Mission: " to fulfill a long-standing generational responsibility, especially to the village of Sukahet and the island of Bali as a whole, for the preservation of Balinese culture, whilst providing visitors to Bali a unique opportunity to observe and interact with the traditional Bali…"

The original concept for the Bali Countryside plantation was developed by
Mr. G. N. Okayana in 1997. The concept was inspired by his philosophies and
dreams, and by his strong ambition to fulfill his responsibilities.

Mr. Okayana has an enormous respect for the village of Sukahet, where his family has resided since the 12th century, going back at least forty generations. With his lineage has come a very strong sense of responsibility to the village, to do all that he can to improve life for the residents of the village, whilst maintaining it's highly rated traditions and cultural integrity of the village.

Originally, the plantation was a resource just for the local community - it did not become a commercial concept until seven years after its establishment. It was a facility for local ceremonies and for the performance of the sacred rituals that are so important in the Balinese communities. The trees and fruits that are at the plantation are all there because they are necessary materials for ceremonies. At the time of its establishment, the plantation was more of a hobby for the village. It's aim at inception was to preserve the culture of the community and to educate the villagers about their own heritage, and to ensure that the younger generations are educated in their own culture so that it will be preserved and passed on to the next generation. Hand-in-hand with this was the goal to revive some of the long lost traditions and cultures of the Balinese people and re-introduce them.

The family has long been looked to as one of the leaders in the village, and it was decided to attempt to make further improvements in the daily lives of the villagers. With this in mind, the Sukahet Sari Plantation was transformed from its original form. The plantation is now also a tourism destination, developed in conjunction with PT. Tunjung Petak Tours and Travel.

The original concept for the purpose of the plantation still remains as the primary focus, but now there are two new underlying concepts. Firstly, it was envisioned as a way to distribute some of the economic power in Bali from tourism that is concentrated in southern Bali and in doing this to improve the life of the villagers by providing many employment opportunities. All the construction has been undertaken by workers and craftsmen from the village, and all of the employees at the plantation are also from the village. Rather than hiring previously qualified staff from outside of the village, all staff have been hired and trained from within the village. The products available at the plantation also provide opportunities for many of the local artists, such as the musicians and dancers. The products and services of the plantation were developed with the concept of providing employment opportunities to as many of the village residents and existing businesses as possible, and to provide the possibility for the local community to introduce their marketable products to worldwide markets. The plantation was also viewed as an opportunity to influence and inspire local creativity and thinking through exposure to travelers from other parts of the world.

Secondly, the plantation was visualized as a product to educate visitors to Bali about the culture and traditions of the island, and to enable visitors to observe the way that life is lead in Bali, outside of the tourist areas. By reviving some of the lost cultural treasures of Bali the plantation gives visitors an opportunity to sample cultural aspects not normally available to tourists. It is a facility that allows visitors to interact with the local villagers about their life, traditions, and refreshing outlook on what is important in life to them.

As with any business venture, one of the goals is profitability. However, the profitability at the plantation lies a distant second to fulfilling the responsibilities that are felt for the village of Sukahet and Bali. The profitability, however, is strongly linked to fulfilling these responsibilities as any profitability will lead to enhancements in the life of the village and local community.
