Sylvester Manor Worksongers

Bennett Konesni, the founder of Sylvester Manor Educational Farms, has a vision of singing again in the fields; about bringing the culture back to agriculture.

Since 2007 I’ve been using worksongs at Sylvester Manor Educational Farm on Shelter Island, NY, collaborating with our crew to learn new songs and figure out how music could fit into a serious working farm. We call ourselves the Sylvester Manor Worksongers and can be heard at farmy events in and around New York and New England.

Over the past several years I’ve taught a couple dozen workshops at farms and farm conferences across the northeast and even been invited with my wife Edith Gawler to TEDxFruitvale to share a song.

I love these songs and the way they fit into work and life. I hope you do too.
-Bennett
