Christine and Douglas Kesteven have added some exciting new products to their range: Real Lime cordial, Real Lemon cordial and Vincotto, a traditional Italian preserve (literally “cooked wine”). Vincotto is a dark, sweet dense preserve made by cooking grapes for hours. Imogen’s Farm products are now being used by the Byron at Byron Restaurant. Also, visit the winery page for details of new wines being sold now at local markets including Byron Bay Farmers (Thursdays), Mullumbimby Farmers (Fridays), Lismore Farmers (Saturdays), The Channon Craft Market (every second Sunday), and Bangalow (every fourth Sunday).

Grape harvest @ Imogen's Farm 30 Jan 2010
The rain stayed away just long enough for us to harvest the grapes on 30 January 2010. While picking we were pleasantly surprised by a visit from David Nielsen, a photojournalist from The Northern Star. It was a bumper harvest, but all the grapes were picked and de-stemmed before midday, as we had many enthusiastic volunteers! While Christine and Douglas treated everyone to a sumptuous lunch, the rain poured down.
