The National Fruit Collection is one of the largest fruit collections in the world and includes around 3,500 named Apple, Pear, Plum, Cherry, Vine and Cob Nut cultivars. Located at Brogdale Farm, near Faversham (Kent), the collection is owned by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and is part of an international programme to protect plant genetic resources for the future.

The University of Reading is responsible for the curation and maintenance of the National Fruit Collection in collaboration with the Fruit Advisory Services Team (FAST), who are based at Brogdale Farm. Public access is organised by Brogdale Collections, who provide guided tours and run various events throughout the year.
