Bunker Brew doesn’t just serve coffee out of a converted horse trailer, it also seeks to provide clean organic products to consumers and advocate for women and veterans in the community, owner Amy Stumpf said. 

Stumpf served in the United States Air Force for three years active and two active reserves, she said. 

“The Air Force taught me discipline, adaptability, the importance of mission-driven leadership, showing up prepared and taking care of the people around you,” Stumpf said. “Those lessons are foundational to how I operate Bunker Brew every day.”

How we got here: Stumf started Bunker Brew to raise money for her breast cancer treatments while still finding time to homeschool her daughter, she said.

Stumpf has now been cancer free for a year and seeks to bring awareness and encouragement to others who may be struggling with the same thing through her future nonprofit organization, Soar Above.
