Abstract: Lisinia Ecological Farm is one of the farms within the scope of the project TaTuTa (agricultural tourism in ecological farms and voluntary knowledge, experience exchange). One aim of the project is to support rural development and ecological farming. In this research, it aims to reveal the relations of the ecological farm with the farmers around it and the number of farmers affected by this farm. A survey was conducted with 128 farmers (in the villages bordering Lisinia Ecological Farm in Burdur province). A small number of younger farmers were positively influenced by the ecological farm. These farmers are in close communication with the farm and were most influenced by the farm's natural farming practices. After Lisinia was established, these farmers adopted the ecological farming model and turned to activities such as dry farming, medicinal-aromatic plant farming and goat breeding.
