Half a World, and Several Lifetimes, Away

Exit the Interstate at Georgetown, Kentucky and drive west and south on Route 62.† Over a scant ten miles, the car dealerships, fast food restaurants and big box stores give way first to large homes, then to acres of fenced pasture with grazing horses fronting barely visible farm buildings.† The terrain transforms from graded suburban sprawl to the gently rolling hills for which the Bluegrass region is known.† The road narrows from four lane highway to two lane road to a narrow two lane country track.

At the end of your ten mile drive, the road crosses South Elkhorn Creek over a narrow bridge.† This creek flows with the limestone rich waters that make Kentucky thoroughbreds and bourbon whisky so justifiably famous.† At this particular spot, you are not interested in the water itself, rather in the movement of the water.† This water flows over the blades of two turbine; and the turbines power a grist mill that sits just on the near side of the bridge.

August Weisenberger bought this mill in 1865, and it has provided the livelihood to six generations of Weisenbergers since.† As you enter the building, the office appears unchanged for generations, but for a personal computer and dot matrix invoice printer tucked around the corner.† There is a product and price list on the desk just inside the door.† All the Weisenberg products are available for purchase directly from the mill.† The offerings are extensive for such a small operation, from several strengths of white flour to specialty grains and prepared mixes.† The person who greets you will likely be a family member, perhaps Mac Weisenberger, a member of generation five.† Mac is soft-spoken in that uniquely Southern manner.† City dwellers will strain to discern his quiet words.

.† If you buy, do try one or more of the specialty flours and grains, such as buckwheat or grits.

Just Cured is proud to use Weisenberger flours exclusively in the baked goods included within our holiday gift packages.
