Father's Day Finds

While supporting local veteran owned creators

Sean and Joy Yancey, a married couple for 24 years with two sons (Taylor and Mack) are the proud owners of The Boro Blend, a small veteran-owned business in Middle TN. Their journey began in 2016, fueled by their shared passion for woodworking and creating unique home decor pieces. Sean, who served in the army for 8 years, brings his dedication and skills to their craft. His craftsmanship shines through in his creations, which include exquisite cutting boards, whiskey barrel pieces, and the very popular liquor bottle candles.

Sean's background in the army adds depth to their story, as he now channels his military discipline and commitment into supporting his family through their business endeavors. Meanwhile, Joy is the driving force behind the scenes, managing the business side of things and ensuring smooth operations as well as all social media adventures.

In addition to their retail offerings, The Boro Blend's work can also be found in some of the local boutiques like Urban Mills on the square in Lebanon, TN, or several local distilleries such as Company Distilling in Thompson Station, TN or their newest addition Leatherwood Distillery in Clarksville, TN. These partnerships not only showcase their craftsmanship to a broader audience but also reinforce their ties to the local community.

Furthermore, they continue to work closely with the community by providing hundreds of beautiful cutting boards to local real estate agents throughout Middle Tennessee. These cutting boards serve as wonderful personalized closing gifts, adding a special touch to the home buying experience and further solidifying The Boro Blend's commitment to their community.

Their shared commitment to God, their craft, family, and community shines through in every aspect of The Boro Blend. Visitors to their shop are welcomed with warmth and invited to explore a range of handcrafted items. As they continue to pursue their passion and share their creations with the world, Sean and Joy feel truly blessed to do what they love and invite others to share in their joy by discovering something special in their shop.
