These Heritage Orchard Days are a great opportunity to spend time outside with the family while enjoying some fresh Kent fruit. Visitors will also be helping raise essential funds to save these unique orchards.
In addition to the National Fruit Collection, Brogdale Farm is home to hectares of orchards packed with heritage apple, pear, plum, quince, and cherry trees. These provide the fruit for the public on event days which gives people the opportunity to learn about and eat a wonderful range of heritage fruit. Due to changes in circumstances, the management of these orchards is under threat and Brogdale Collections Charity is raising funds to protect this important local diverse horticultural resource.
*Each adult ticket price includes 1 x 4kg bag for fruit picking.
