Butter Keeper
These are not the commercially made bells for your butter, but instead they have been lovingly made by hand by a NC potter. They are available in assorted solid and mixed colors of blue, gray, brown and red. By using this style of butter keeper, you can keep butter at room temperature safely like so many have done since the late 19th century. The bell will keep the butter fresh and consistently spreadable.
The bell shaped butter keeper comes with a card telling how to use it properly; we also sell the Amish rolled butter that can be used in them!
Available in our farm store!
