Churning Butter

The Sikes farm included dairy cows and an adobe creamery, which provided  the family and the town of Bernardo with fresh milk and butter. Students will be  able to make real butter from churning cream and then venture inside the  creamery to experience how sturdy adobe construction can maintain cool  interior temperatures necessary for keeping dairy fresh. Milk production is an  agricultural activity that has occurred within the San Dieguito River watershed  for the last 140 years.
