Dagmar with her Self Service Cream and Eggs

Dagmar added a new self service cream and egg stand in the garage of the new farm house that Rasmus and she built in 1959-1960. This photo is the refirgerator to hold the cream and eggs, the shelf with the jars for cream and the eggs and Dagmar holding a jar of the thick cream. The blackboard behind the shelf dispayed the prices and there was a box on the shelf for people to leave the money for the items they purchased. (The blackboard with the prices for the last time she sold eggs and cream, is still in the same place in the garage.)
200 laying hens were added after the move to the new house, and they were housed in a part of the old house that Ken pulled to a location directly west of the new house and was turned into the chicken house.
The cream was known for being extremely thick. Ken loves to relate a story about a fellow who came one day and was describing to his friend how the cream was so thick that you could turn the jar upside down and it wouldn't run out. After this fellow removed the lid and turned the jar upside down, he was pretty suprised to have the cream all dump out on the garage floor! It turned out the cream was fresh that morning and still very liquid!
