Butter churns have been used for centuries to produce butter from cream. In ancient times, butter was made by shaking cream in animal skin bags or clay pots. With the advent of the churn, a mechanical device for making butter, the process became easier and more efficient.
Early butter churns were made of wood and featured a simple crank mechanism. Over time, the design and materials used in butter churns have evolved, but the basic process remains the same: Cream is agitated until the fat globules come together to form butter.
Today, butter churns are still used on small-to-medium dairy farms to produce fresh, homemade butter.
