Employee of the Month: Missy Leinhart

Melissa Leinart (Missy), is November’s Employee of the Month. Missy has been with Vienna longer than any employee other than John the founder. She started in November 2003 when the roasting and packaging was all still done in John’s garage in Maryville. At first she did all the packaging while John roasted. Since then, she has taken over all of the production roasting on the workhorse 35 Kilo US Roaster.

Born and raised in Madisonville, Missy has two grown boys. She and her Husband Joe still live in Madisonville with lots of family close by. Even with two very young kids when she decided to come to work with us, she was and still is as reliable as anyone you’ve met. She stays till the work is done and if we finish early, she is happy to take off early. She knows her job, keeps her work space immaculately clean and does it with a minimum of direction. John has often described Missy as the “Perfect Employee”.

Employee of the Month: Bonnie

Meet Bonnie, Roastery Operations since 2016.
Her favorite drink is an iced Muddy Pond Mocha. She loves her work because it requires lots of multitasking and never gets boring. Plus, she gets to work with and provide something people love. If you’ve ordered from the roastery, Bonnie likely helped your experience be smooth and enjoyable. John Clark says, “Bonnie is the friendly voice of Vienna to most of our wholesale clients. She works hard and has a customer service attitude. We’re glad to have her on the team!”
