Trend and Tradition Meet at a Queens Farm

....Just about a year ago, the Queens farm began keeping tiny herds of
sheep and goats, along with the pigs, for what are called “productive
purposes” — farm-speak for wool, milk and meat. The museum always had
animals but they were merely décor for legions of visiting school kids.

“As far as I know, it’s the only farm in the city that’s raising livestock for productive purposes,” Mr. Robertson said.
