The event celebrates the Manor’s Educational Farm as well as its well-preserved history of the estate.

Once home to the family of English settler Nathaniel Sylvester, it has become a link to the Island’s heritage and a place for Islanders to celebrate the Manor’s agricultural and educational role.
