There are still farms in Manhattan and other parts of NYC. From the few I know off-hand:

- The Farm at the Javits Center (Hudson Yards) is a working rooftop farm, greenhouse, and has an orchard.

- On Randall’s Island there is a farm with raised beds, greenhouses, rice paddies, and also an orchard.

- Battery Urban Farm (Lower Manhattan) - not sure of this counts but its an operating educational farm that grows produce.

There are others.

Why do you think "sheep meadow" in Central Park is called that?

Do you think Manhattan has always been skyscrapers?

"The Bronx" was "The Bronks", a farm owned by a Dutch family and a popular picnic destination before it was subdivided and built over.

I don’t understand. Do you think the Dutch came to Manhattan in the 1620s and found it fully built out with streets and skyscrapers?
