  1. Churns

    Share Share Post
    Our churn at home is about five feet in height and two and a half in diameter.
    The churn itself is shaped like a barrel and it is sitting on a wooden stool. We churn by turning a handle.
    Butter is made in Summer, but some times when there is plenty of milk it is made in Winter.
    The maid generally churns the milk but sometimes when strangers came in they help her.
