I think we spent around $75 for the non-electric but we bought a new electric

model that ran around $250. I've not had a problem cleaning the separator, I

take it apart and wash it.

Right now I'm making it about once a week as we have lots of milk. During the

summer and winter we don't have as much so I make it less often. I try to

save up about 7-10 gallons of milk, separate it one day and churn it with a

little fresh milk the next.

why do you churn with a little fresh milk? Any special reason? Also: what do

you use to churn with?
