A BAKERY is expanding into new premises to meet growing demand for its produce.
After six months of baking breads, cakes and pastries from her farmhouse kitchen, Anastasia Weiner is relocating her business - Westfields Farm Organic Bakery - to a bigger site in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.
The move will see the company recruit a master baker and the site on the Leyburn Business Park will be officially opened by MP William Hague, on Saturday.
Ms Weiner set up the business last year while recovering from a serious illness and uses organic ingredients bought from within a 60-mile radius of her bakery.
She said: "When people come back from the Cntinent, they always rave about how wonderful the breads are.
"Here in the UK, we have become so reliant on supermarkets that local bakeries are fast disappearing.
I wanted to reverse that trend.
"It will be like having a bakery straight out of France or Italy here in the Yorkshire Dales."
