So we’ve been googling all things dairy today, particularly following developments in the raw milk movement and legislation around the distribution and consumption of milk.
I’m going to write a post about it shortly, but in the meantime, I’m on the hunt for things like cream separators and butter churns. They’re hard to come by, and I’m looking for small scale domestic items, probably antique (scotch hands and the like), not big scale industrial machinery. Anyway, on Ebay I found a couple of churns that I’d LOVE to own…
and
feeling generous? got a bit of spare change? my self sufficiency fund, and hence your contribution to the raw milk movement would be most appreciative…
cheeky i know, but i’m desperate…
I put a bid on an antique pair of scotch hands (see previous post for pic). There’s only 1 other person bidding, no doubt some crazy feral raw milk fanatic who’s been searching for scotch hands to no avail as i have. i may have a battle on my hands…
more later

looks like some scotch hands would be easy to make…just paddles with grooves> sx

it’s true, they would be easy to make, and indeed i found some for sale at a homewares shop today (they were quite small and apparently used to make gnocchi also (better that the rolling on a fork method, methinks…) but they were just made of offcuts and looked so unappealing… i’m a bit sentimental about the scotch hands my mum used to use - artisan crafted, Amish style… so i passed up the homewares version…
