Summary/Abstract: The article is based on ethnographic fieldwork and discusses the production and distribution of the Slivovitz, as well as the links between the local fruit economy and the state structures. The author shows how and why certain social actors decide to use the plums from the local orchards. She also answers how the informal / illegal intermingles with formal / legal in Łącko. She proposes considering the illegal in a more dynamic category of dialectics between the legal and the illicit.
