The paper addresses issues of the economic decline of farms in the mountain and submountain areas. The main objective of the work was to present opinions of users of farms reducing production concerning the way of future use of land resources at their disposal and the influence of the European integration process on their farm economic situation. The conducted analyses show a considerably advanced processes of economic decline in the investigated farms. In the perspective of a few years more than half of them will most probably lose their agricultural status, whereas the other will assume or stabilize their character of supplementary farms, where incomes derived from farming will actually provide only additional and generally small part of family income. Respondents’ opinions on the influence of the European integration on their farms are diversified, but they only rarely see a chance for their farms’ development, which results mainly from the acreage and character of the analyzed subjects.
