Berachah Aquafarming

Overview

Berachah Aquafarming is a farm and aquaculture operation in barangay Sto. Niño, Talibon, northern Bohol, classified under industrial tourism (Farm/Ranch) in the BPTO provincial inventory. The name — Hebrew for blessing — signals the enterprise’s family and faith roots, and the record backs it up: founded circa 1997, it’s the original business on the family’s Purok 3 compound, predating the adjacent Berachah Inland Resort & Recreation Center (est. circa 2002) by about five years.

[TO ENRICH: species farmed (tilapia, bangus, shrimp, or other); pond area; whether agritourism visits are formally offered; contact details]

Location

Barangay Sto. Niño, Talibon, Bohol. Talibon is a port municipality on the northern coast of Bohol, approximately 70 km from Tagbilaran City.

Getting There

From Tagbilaran, take a bus or van to Talibon (Dao Terminal, roughly 2 hours). From Talibon town proper, arrange a habal-habal to barangay Sto. Niño. [TO ENRICH: exact distance and travel time from Talibon town proper]

Practical Info

• Berachah Aquafarming is confirmed as a genuine, distinct enterprise (not just a resort feature) — it is the oldest of three co-branded family businesses at the same Purok 3, Sto. Niño complex, founded circa 1997, predating both Berachah Inland Resort & Recreation Center (est. circa 2002) and Ki Cube Bed & Breakfast (est. circa 2011)
• Talibon is a gateway for northbound travel toward Bien Unido and the Danajon Reef area

What to Expect

[TO ENRICH: farming method (pond, cage, or open-water); scale of operation; whether fresh produce is available for purchase on-site]

Talibon municipality also hosts Bat-awan Peak, the Cataban Fish Sanctuary, and Ipil River — which can be combined with a farm visit.

Notes

Identification note: the only confirmed “Berachah” enterprise found in Sto. Niño, Talibon is Berachah Inland Resort, self-described as “Talibon’s First, One of Bohol’s Best” resort, operating as a recreation/events venue (it has hosted institutional catering contracts under the Philippine Rural Development Project, styled “Berachah Inland Resort and Recreation Center”). In February 2025 it added Berachah Sunflower Farm as a new attraction, with entrance fees of ₱50 (sunflower viewing only) or ₱120/adult and ₱60/child (sunflower viewing plus swimming pools and other amenities). None of the sources found describe a distinct fish-farming/aquaculture operation under the Berachah name — it is possible “Berachah Aquafarming” refers to a fishpond feature within this same resort complex, or is a separate, less web-documented operation in the same barangay. This should be verified on the ground before treating the resort and the BPTO-listed “Berachah Aquafarming” as the same entity.

2026-07-28 update — identification resolved: a December 2021 anniversary post by the Berachah family (reposted verbatim on a hotel-directory site) reads: “Happy 24th year Berachah Aquafarming Happy 19th year Berachah Inland Resort & Recreation Center Happy 10th year Ki Cube Bed & Breakfast.” This confirms Berachah Aquafarming is a genuine, distinct enterprise — not a guess or a resort feature — and dates its founding to circa 1997, about five years before Berachah Inland Resort (circa 2002). Aquafarming is therefore the original business at the family’s Purok 3, Sto. Niño complex, with the resort and B&B added later under the same umbrella brand. The [FACT NEEDED] identification tag has been removed on the strength of this source.

2026-07-28 — still unresolved, this round’s search log: species farmed, pond area, whether agritourism visits are formally offered, farming method (pond/cage/open-water), scale of operation, on-site produce sales, a contact number specific to the Aquafarming operation, and exact distance/travel time from Talibon town proper were all searched again with a fresh angle (the 2026-07-17 pass had already exhausted general web search on the identification question). Tried: direct Facebook search (site:facebook.com "Berachah Aquafarming"), Filipino/English fish-farming keyword combinations (“Berachah” + tilapia/bangus/isda), business-directory and review-aggregator listings (lookph.com, bohol.ph, madbookings.com, hotels1000.com — none list species, pond size, or a public-visit policy), the Talibon LGU brief-profile page (confirms tilapia/bangus/shrimp fishculture is a major municipal industry generally, but does not mention Berachah by name), and an academic reef-fish market survey of Talibon (Galera et al., 2022) which is about wild-caught reef fish, not inland aquaculture, and does not mention Berachah. A phone number (+63 38 515 0293 / +63 919 809 8676) is listed for “Beracha Inland Resort” at the same Santo Niño address (bohol.ph business listing) — but since it is attributed to the resort rather than to Aquafarming specifically, it was not added as a confirmed Aquafarming contact detail; a shared family front-desk number is plausible but unconfirmed, so the tag stays in place rather than guessing. Exact distance/travel time from Talibon town proper (Poblacion) to Sto. Niño was not found in an authoritative, citable form either: PhilAtlas barangay-centroid coordinates put Poblacion and Santo Niño roughly 4 km apart in a straight line, but that is a self-calculated estimate from two centroid points, not a sourced road-distance or travel-time figure for the actual route, so it has not been written into the body. A future pass should try: calling the resort’s listed numbers directly, an on-the-ground BPTO or CENRO Talibon inquiry, or the barangay Sto. Niño Facebook page/group if one can be located.
