As part of this term’s food and farming work, P6/5 in Garelochhead have been investigating dairy products and the journey they make to reach our plates. We have been looking at dairy farming and the milk industry in Scotland. We also tasted many of the different types of milk and discussed the similarities and differences. We then went on to making our own butter. It was really interesting to see the cream separate into curds and buttermilk.
The butter was put into the fridge overnight and in the morning we had hot toast with our butter. P7/6 loved the taste of the butter too.
That butter looks yummy! Wish you’d saved me some for my toast 🙂 x
thank you so much for teaching me how to make butter and bringing some milk in and letting us taste it xx
We tried this at home afterwards and it was perfect!
Thank you for teaching the children about milk and where it comes from. The farm trip was also a great success. We now have a cow and pig on our christmas wish list!!
Thank you for the lovely homemade butter and all the interesting facts that i have learned about milk production and seasonal foods. Duchlage farm seems to have been a great success. Katie says it was awesome!!
