Meet The Makers: April

 
 

At The Old Mill, we believe tradition isn’t something you look at, it’s something you live. And for our makers, each day is a chance to carry forward the time-tested skills that define us. We call it Mill Made, a way of making things with heart, by hand, and with a deep respect for where we come from.

Whether it’s turning grains into grits, clay into dinnerware, or fresh-picked fruit into jam, our makers transform the ordinary into the unforgettable. We’re proud to introduce you to the people behind the craft, those who put soul into every scoop, slice, and sip.

Meet April, Ice Cream Maker

Every day in The Old Mill Creamery, April turns fresh ingredients into memories you can taste. From classic vanilla to inventive seasonal swirls, her ice cream blends nostalgia with surprise.

There’s a quiet magic to her work. She balances richness with refreshment, tradition with innovation. And while the classics never go out of style, April always has something new up her sleeve for the adventurous at heart.

It’s more than just a scoop. It’s a moment. A childhood favorite. A front porch evening. A taste that brings you back.

April doesn’t just make ice cream, she churns happiness. One batch at a time.

April is one of many whose hands shape what we do and who we are. Each maker at The Old Mill brings with them not only skill, but also soul, a commitment to keeping traditions alive and well in our community.

Stay tuned for more stories in our Meet the Makers series. Because at The Old Mill, every bite, every brushstroke, and every batch starts with someone who cares deeply about getting it just right.

Mill Made. Right here in Pigeon Forge.
