    About this ebook

    Selling milk and cream to neighbours and townspeople was an integral way of life on the Canadian Prairies in the early to mid-1900s. On many farms, women were in charge of milking cows, separating the cream from the milk, and selling that cream. Cream Money honours this era of Prairie farming, celebrating the work of farm families through true stories of how cream money was earned and spent.
