The Mill Yard is continuing to grow—more lunches, more coffee, more events and more opportunities to serve people. As we look toward what comes next, we’re ready to make room for the right person to grow with us.

We’re a family-owned coffee shop, sandwich shop and marketplace. Around here, the job description has a few commas.

On any given day, you could be making coffee, building sandwiches, running the register, helping with an evening event, working a catering job or creating social media content with us.

We’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable, willing to work, eager to learn and comfortable jumping in wherever needed. Someone who wants to grow with a small business while helping us serve people well.

Our faith shapes what we’re building. People may walk in for coffee or lunch, but we want them to leave feeling noticed, welcomed and cared for—and we want someone who understands that how we treat people matters just as much as what we hand across the counter.

Experience is helpful, but character, initiative and a willingness to learn will carry a lot of weight.

We’re open Wednesday through Saturday from 8–2 and would love to find someone available for some or all of those days, with occasional evening and catering opportunities.

Pay is $13–$15 an hour based on experience.

If this sounds like you—or somebody you know—fill out the form below and attach a résumé.

Come help us feed our people and grow something good.

The Short Fuse is only here till 2. Pair it with a house-made lemonade or an iced latte off the fall menu.

I’ve been running on Pumpkin Maple Cold Brew all day. I’m not ashamed to say I drink pumpkin-flavored coffee. I have a beard and pay property taxes. I can do what I want.

The Short Fuse has a lot going on. So do I. The difference is, it’s held together by DV8 Kitchen toasted sourdough.

Shaved turkey and ham, pepper jack, hot honey jalapeño-bacon cream cheese, shredded lettuce with oil and vinegar, crushed kettle chips and chipotle mayo.

That cream cheese is good enough to put on anything. I’d eat it off a two-by-four. Untreated, obviously. I’m not reckless.

I’m being held together by cold brew, ibuprofen and the grace of God. Savannah says that’s not a system. I said neither is putting chips inside a sandwich, but this one appears to be working.

Friday and Saturday only. Come early…I’ve already become an inventory concern.

Today was a good day. Three identical Clubs on one order. Same blueprint, three builds. Somewhere, a contractor just whispered, “Must be nice.”

We’re thankful you keep ordering our food—and even more thankful you enjoy it.

Feed people. Work hard. Be grateful. Turns out the old instructions still hold up.

Tomorrow we’re delivering to Cane Ridge, Bourbon Central, Bourbon Preschool and St. Mary School.

School staff spend all day pouring into kids. Beautiful work. But an empty pitcher is just a cup that got promoted too fast.

Get your order in by 9:30. Add a canned cold brew. Refilling the pitcher isn’t selfish. That’s basic beverage management.

The Honey Hen pictured here is for educational purposes. If you haven’t tried one yet, no judgment. We all have gaps in our education.

Will one sandwich change education? Probably not. But five loaves once had a pretty impressive afternoon, so we’re not putting limits on lunch.

Keep showing up. Keep being kind. And when the copier jams again, remember: the spirit is willing, but Tray 2 is weak.

The September coffee menu is here. Fall is not. We have chosen to move forward without it. Kentucky weather said mind your business.

Pumpkin Pie Chai — pumpkin spice, vanilla and cold foam. Pie with a morning alibi.

The Bonfire — vanilla, toasted marshmallow and brown sugar cinnamon. Tastes like a campfire without hearing somebody explain how they start theirs.

The Scarecrow — salted caramel, toffee and white chocolate. Has done nothing for the crow problem.

Pumpkin Maple Cold Brew — pumpkin and maple. That meeting went quick.

The Robin — apple-cider syrup made by Morgan Huber with Stepping Stone Farm apples, caramel, vanilla and cinnamon. Inspired by an apple-cider donut, only caffeinated and easier to carry.

The kitchen is running on The Robin iced in cans this morning. Eye contact is brief, but production is excellent.

Give somebody grace today. Grudges are heavy, cold brew is sweating and you’ve only got two hands. Choose wisely.

Come have something good.

We open tomorrow morning with a cooler full of cold brew, and we can put yours in a can. Walk into work holding one and people may assume you’ve already read the email. Let them believe.

Our syrupologist dropped off the finished version of a new flavor, and it goes way harder than syrup has any right to. Apparently, the adult thing to do is act normal about it. Ma’am, I’m 6’5”, have a beard and own a sandwich shop. Nothing about this operation has ever suggested that.

Details tomorrow morning. My watch already asked if I’m working out.

We’re also delivering lunch tomorrow to Bourbon Middle, Bourbon High, the Board Office and River Christian Academy. Get your orders in. We’ll bring it to you so nobody gets trapped behind a man doing 38 on 68 who appears to be driving recreationally.

I don’t want to sway anybody, but The Italian is being ordered like somebody leaked the answer key. You can choose something else. I’m not here to tell you how to take a test.

I asked the girls how they’d train a new Mill Yard employee.

Their answers were confident, detailed… and originally about finding a raccoon in the house at 2 a.m.

Apparently, this is our new employee orientation:

• Park facing the road.
• Get your name tag and a five-second head start.
• Orientation starts at 8. Survival is self-paced.
• Closed-toe shoes are required. Running ability is strongly preferred.

I switched the questions. The girls remain in charge of absolutely nothing.

Yesterday, the four of us closed out the Kentucky State Fair as the final group on the Farm to Fair Cooking Stage. Savannah and the girls had participated over the last several years representing Robin Ridge Farms. Sharon Spencer finally talked me into joining them. Until then, I’d enjoyed a long and quiet career in the audience.

We made The Mill Yard’s braised short rib grilled cheese. Andie was a heck of a sous chef. Savannah killed it and carried the talking because I tend to dodge public speaking like restroom door handles. Finleigh captured it all, so there is now considerable evidence that I did, in fact, get on stage.

The samples got awesome reviews, too. Took me back to part of our philosophy. Good food might open the door. What walks through it is up to you.

Thanks, Sharon, for asking… and Savannah, for not letting me overthink myself out of a good memory. I’m glad I was there.

People ask how we crank out so many sandwiches in six hours.

They mostly want to know whether this pace is intentional. Parts of it are.

This is the answer: our new house-made, 24-hour cold brew with a fall syrup being created for us from some really good local ingredients by someone who may not call herself a syrup expert, but has produced evidence to the contrary.

I’m a sandwich person. When real coffee people talk, I listen and take notes.

We can’t tell you exactly what’s in it yet, but after one can I could hear the ticket printer before it printed.

Coming soon… pending one final test and the return of my normal heart rate.
