Comments on: I didn’t know there were farms in Manhattan, NY http://norunnyeggs.com/2007/08/i-didnt-know-there-were-farms-in-manhattan-ny/ The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

I do know there's a small zoo with a "working dairy farm" in Central Park. I notice none of those red dots in the map are in Central Park. Go figure. Nice catch, by the way.
