Jayme Chilcote

Entering college, Jayme had one primary goal: to own a coffee shop. While in school, she worked at small shops and a franchise coffee business. In her senior year, she was hired as a barista at Fortress Cafe. Jayme quickly proved her expertise in the coffee industry and became the manager within a year, treating Fortress Cafe as if it were her own business and helping it thrive during the challenging pandemic times. She ran the business entirely while the Bones dealt with health issues, earning her way into a partnership.

 

As part owner, Jayme led the opening of the third location at 1302 W. Michigan Ave, adding her personal touches to the Fortress brand. Outside of Fortress, she enjoys traveling and exploring the best camping spots across the US.

Bone Family

Duncan and Elizabeth Bone founded Fortress Cafe to introduce healthier food options in Jackson, complementing the fresh roasted coffee provided by Elizabeth’s brother, Thomas Hess, at Fortress Coffee Co. Following significant health scares, they expanded their mission by starting a farm to offer organically grown produce, ensuring clean ingredients are available for all.

 

The Bones have four young boys and enjoy being active, drinking coffee, and fostering a thriving community space. Duncan’s background in personal training and health coaching enhances the cafe’s offerings of quick, healthy bites.
