  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    Our churn has round sides and it is about eighteen years in the house. There are various parts in the churn
    The legs are on a stand. The handle turns the churn. The lid is screwed down on top with clasps. The ventillator lets the air out of the churn when it is working. The barrel or body is then principal part of the churn as you put the cream into it the hoops keep the barrel of the churn together. The churn is about fifteen inches wide and three feet nine in height. We churn twice a week.
