Reporter Payden Hinkle and photojournalist Noah Lockard from FOX 56 News in Lexington, Kentucky stopped by The Old Mill to learn how things work around here.
Their morning started inside the mill with Head Miller Chuck Childers, where they learned how grain is still milled the old-fashioned way. Then it was outside with Jimmy Proffitt, Historian and the waterwheel as the cameras rolled for a live segment.
Next stop: The Old Mill Restaurant.
The plan was to watch biscuits being made. That didn't last long.
Before long, Payden was rolling dough, cutting biscuits, and getting a hands-on lesson in a tradition that's still part of every morning here.
From the mill to the restaurant, it was a morning full of stories, history, and a little extra flour.
Just another morning at The Old Mill.
