Frederic Yarm devised the Balloon Farm after a customer asked for a Paper Plane and the conversation turned to substitutes for Amaro Nonino, with Cynar coming up as a stand-in. Yarm then tried Scotch with Cynar and Aperol at home and named the drink after Andy Warhol's 1960s performance space, mentioned in St. Marks Is Dead.
