Located in Tanshui in Taiwan County, the Tatun River Shumei Educational Farm has been using these methods longest in Taiwan. Chen Hui-wen, the farm's owner, explains that natural farming differs from organic farming in that it relies entirely on natural forces to promote plant growth. Sometimes, in order to heal the soil, its practitioners eschew plowing, or they cut weeds but leave the roots in the soil.
位於台北淡水、可說是台灣最早施行該農法的「大屯溪自然農法教育農莊」負責人陳惠雯表示，自然農法有別於有機農業，是完全利用自然力來促使作物生長的方式，有時會採取不除草、不耕耘的無為而治。
