Set on a small farm in the foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds, The Yard has been created as a relaxed space for the local community to come together, unwind and enjoy time well spent.

OUR STORY

Located at Westfield Farm, Swanland, the site occupies what was once a working model farm, built in 1873, designed to reflect progressive farming practices of the time. Its distinctive E-shaped arrangement of interlocking yards and north-facing shelters allowed for efficient livestock management and day-to-day farm operations. Today, these historic buildings are being carefully restored and sensitively reimagined, preserving their agricultural character while creating a warm, welcoming space to gather with friends, enjoy quality family time and browse a thoughtfully curated range of produce.

Nestled within the courtyard, our light-filled dining space offers elegant indoor and outdoor seating, inviting you to relax and unwind at any time of day. Whether you’re joining us for a leisurely lunch or simply stopping by for a perfectly brewed coffee and freshly baked croissant, you’ll find a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Our carefully curated menu evolves with the seasons, showcasing high-quality ingredients prepared with simplicity and care.

Our farm shop and lifestyle area, set within the old granary, offers a generous open space to browse a hand-picked selection of produce, alongside an appealing range of homemade and ready-to-enjoy meals. Complemented by a thoughtfully chosen gift and lifestyle section, it’s a place to stock up on good-quality food for home or to discover something special for someone else.
