A farmyard is a yard, enclosure or area associated with a farm where animals are kept and cared for. It typically includes structures such as barns, sheds, coops, and paddocks, as well as other features like silos, manure storage areas, and equipment storage facilities. The farmyard is also the location of many daily activities related to caring for animals, including feeding, watering, grooming, milking (for dairy animals), and tending to their health needs. In addition, a farmyard may include vegetable gardens or other areas where crops are grown to provide food for humans living on the farm.
