    There is a fan incide and a handle for turning it and there is a glass on the lid of it.
    There is six gallons written on it.
    Twice a week in winter and and three times in summer the churning is done.
    We churn ourselves.
    People that come in at churning time help because they would afraid they would take the butter off the milk.
    It takes about a half-an-hour.
