Veteran-owned trailer serves clean co ee in Argyle
Stumpf is in the process of launching her non-pro t organization, Soar Above.
Bunker Brew serves organic co ee out of a converted horse trailer and seeks to 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, adaptabil- ity, 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.” How we got here Stumpf started Bunker Brew to raise money for her breast cancer treatments while still nding time to homeschool her daughter, she said. “Surviving breast cancer twice reinforced those values [learned in the Air Force] in a very personal way,” Stumpf said. “It strengthened my resilience, gave me a deeper sense of purpose, and shifted my focus toward wellness, balance and community impact.” Stumpf has now been cancer free for a year and attends catering events, weddings and school events with her daughter, giving back a portion of the funds made at school events to the parent teacher association. Stumpf updates the Bunker Brew Facebook page with the trailer’s location.
What’s on the menu? Stumpf orders the co ee from a veter- an-owned business in San Antonio and uses Monin branded syrups because they’re the cleanest product for syrups, Stumpf said. She orders matcha from a place in Japan because it helps with breast cancer and serves organic Chai tea, she said. What’s next? Stumpf is in the process of launching her nonpro t organization, Soar Above, which will establish a community for those struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder or breast cancer, she said. “I didn’t realize how much there was a need and how much my story would impact somebody else’s story,” she said. “I try not to look at it as, ‘I had cancer twice.’ I try to say, ‘What did I learn, and who can I help?’ I hope that the co ee shop and Soar Above do that.” Stumpf plans to move into a building in Argyle to serve co ee, and organic, clean snacks and pastries. A portion of Bunker Brew’s pro ts will go toward Soar Above, Stumpf said. “I hope to have a place that’s community-cen- tric, focusing on women in our community,” Stumpf said.
