The paper includes an analysis of the results of the research conducted among 600 consumers from six communes of Podkarpackie voivodship. The research proved, that customers buying natural regional products prefer, to a large extent, their quality, wholesomeness, price, producer’s brand and packaging. It should be stressed, that price, which was previously in the first place, in the opinion of the surveyed population takes the third position, and the first one is taken by quality. The research showed the differences between men and women in preference of features of regional products. The majority of women paid attention to quality, price and brand, men, on the other hand, to wholesomeness and product’s packaging. High quality and price were in the scope of interest of the youngest and retired people. Older people were more interested in brand and packaging than younger ones. Quality of regional goods was preferred regardless of the number of family members Brand and packaging were the most important features representing one-person households. The richest consumers preferred quality, price, brand, packaging, while the poorest ones paid attention to wholesomeness, quality and price.
