I hear somewhat of a Northern accent here. When I was very, very young, I recall my mother doing this. Of course, butter and marg was on the market but I guess my family was just cheap.
Requirements: A cow, skilled in milking a cow, letting the cream rise to the top of the milk. I think every kid from the boomer generation in less than 100k population of a city will remember having to take a turn at this or at a hand-crank ice cream machine.
If you want to make butter at home, just take a glass jar and fill it halfway with heavy cream. Put a wooden clothespin inside and shake the butter into existence! Don't forget to add a little salt to the butter when you're done. The butter will collect around the clothespin and is quite yummy on toast. Enjoy!
My parents have an old *I believe* GE butter churn, clear container, probably could hold a few gallons of milk. My mom always says "don't plug it in, it's really old" so being a kid at the time, I plugged it in....works fine, it was nearly silent, my mom is funny.
@windowwisher I believe that's Margarine, store bought BUTTER is good from what I've seen. probably not as fresh and wholesome as homemade, but i'm sure it's still fine.

@windowwisher LOL, hopefully you know where your store bought butter comes from. Ours is made locally, is organic, and is pure butter.

@windowwisher And water is one molecule away from being hydrogen peroxide. That one molecule makes more of a difference than you think.
