VILLAGE business Hollywater Hens scored highly at the Surrey County Show, taking top spot in the agricultural tradestand awards.

Poultry expert Suzie Baldwin runs Hollywater Hens, a family business described as “a smallholding where chickens rule”. The firm sells a variety of organically reared hybrid and pure-breed chickens, turkeys and ducks, from its base in Hollywater Road, and counts television presenter Phil Spencer among its customers.

The Surrey County Show, held on Monday, May 28, at Stoke Park in Guildford, saw the best of the region’s agriculture, including horses, cattle, dairy goats and more.

The results for the agricultural-tradestand awards were: first, Hollywater Hens; second, Premier Tree Care; and third, the Surrey Smallholders Association.
