    Churning
    The churn we have at home is a barrell churn with a beaters and it is there about 14 or 15 years. The churning is done once in the week. There is a handle on the outside which you must turn to keep the beaters moving inside. When the churning is finished, the butter goes together in a lump. Then it is taken out of the churn with wooden butter-spades.
