The story behind the incredible '£50 farm shop' that sees customers queuing out the door

It's Cheshire most famous - and poshest - farm shop that can't stop winning awards. And after influencer Molly-Mae Hague extolled the virtues of The Hollies Farm Shop, the clamour to get inside this place is huge.

Influencer Hollie Elizabeth moaned about queues around the car park to get in last weekend that has left it "like Alton Towers".

On her TikTok account she shared videos of the queues and said: "It's pure carnage in the car park, it's like going to Alton Towers for a day out. You'll have to buy fast passes soon."

She added: "I'm sorry Molly-Mae, I really do love you but this has taken the mick a bit because you have ruined Holly's Farm Shop... It's literally raining and people are queueing out the door."

Regular customers were quick to make the point that actually The Hollies always tends to be busy on weekends given it's one of the most popular farm shops in Cheshire. Although there's no doubting having the endorsement of an influencer like Molly-Mae has sparked feverish interest in the family-run farm shop, the oldest of its kind in the county.
