Meet The Makers: Hector
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 Hector
Hector has overseen the baking of hundreds of thousands of pecan pies in the bakery inside The Old Mill Restaurant. And those pies are all baked from an old family recipe each and every day, using quality ingredients that come together in the perfect golden brown crust.
Go anywhere in the South and ask someone what their favorite food is, and you will most likely hear biscuits time and time again. Each morning, he ensures that as many as 1800 biscuits rise to the occasion, made from our own biscuit mix, which you can purchase too so you can have them at home anytime you like.
Hector 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.
