I guess everyone was also doing farming..
As I understand it, yes, there was generally private agriculture in Poland because collectivization was a resounding failure and there was a lot of resistance to the quota system. The other important factor was the black market.
There are Cubans living here who could tell you worse stories, like secretly raising a pig in the bathtub to get enough protein, putting condoms on pizza as a substitute for cheese that melts in the heat, or going to jail for having two gas cylinders for “hoarding.”
