  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    Our churn is 14 inches across the top and it is 23 inches across the bottom. The height is 43 inches. The sides of our churn are round. It is nine years old. The parts of our churn are the barrel the stand and the lid. Butter is made once each week in summer and winter. Everybody has a share in the churning. Strangers who come in during the churning operation help at the work because if they went out again without churning they would bring all the luck out
