Subject and purpose of work: The study deals with the issue of ecological agricultural farms from the West-Pomeranian Province, which are located close to or on valuable natural areas. It aims to describe the kinds of problems which accompany the activity of ecological farms situated on naturally valuable areas. Materials and methods: The review of the research studies was based on Polish and foreign literature was made. The analysis of the survey data collected from farmers working on ecological farms located close to or directly on valuable natural areas was also conducted. A sample of 765 farmers was used for the purpose of the study. Results: The data gathered from the survey have led to seven conclusions. It was proved that natural methods of production are desirable, on the one hand, as they help preserve the values of nature sites, but, on the other hand, they are considered by farmers as insufficiently developmental as far as valuable natural areas are concerned. Conclusions: It is therefore necessary develop and present different concepts of development resulting from the mutual support and interaction.
