A Very Happy Family…
Just a quick note to say a big “thank-you” for the hamper of fruit prize from the Cherry Festival. We drove down with the kids on Sunday to pick it up and they had another great day at Brogdale. Our son James loves cherries and he said that the Morello cherries that we included in the hamper were the “best ever” - there certainly weren’t many left by the time we got back home!
Once again, thanki-you for the hamper and we look forward to visting Brogdale again soon

Brogdale Goes to Borough Market…
Later this summer, London shoppers will be able to add apples and pears picked from the Brogdale Collections in Kent to their grocery baskets. The fruit will be on sale at Borough market in London and be sold by the fantastic fruit and veg retailer ‘Turnips at Borough Market’.
Brogdale’s fruit experts will also be making trips to London, they will be encouraging shoppers to try the fruit that is on sale (if they need any encouragement) and providing information about the specific fruit available on the day, it’s heritage and future here in Kent.
