Stuart Andrews runs Tarwyn Park Training, a program dedicated to educating landholders on Natural Sequence Farming (NSF) principles.

In the late 1970s, Stuart's father, Peter Andrews, established Natural Sequence Farming, a rural landscape management technique that aims to restore natural water cycles to improve drought resilience and boost farming productivity significantly.

Stuart started Tarwyn Park Training in 2012 to continue his father's work and teach NSF principles to landholders. Today Stuart travels all over Australia, running courses and helping landholders implement NSF principles.

Stuart is also the director of Forage Farms, a diverse livestock operation located along the Mary River in Kybong, Queensland. Forage Farms delivers pasture-raised chicken and pork, as well as grass-fed lamb and beef, direct to consumers.

Stuart, his wife, Megan, and his sons, Hamish and Lachlan, started Forage Farms in 2017 as a large-scale experiment to demonstrate how NSF can be implemented to restore degraded landscapes while maintaining farming productivity and profitability. Today, Hamish and Lachlan look after the day-to-day operations of Forage Farms while Stuart is on the road running Tarwyn Park Training courses.
