When you do business with Nashville-based Thistle Farms, you’re not just purchasing natural, handmade bath, body and home products. You’re also supporting a nonprofit organization that helps women survivors recover and heal from trafficking, prostitution and addiction.

Founded in 2001, Thistle Farms offers a two-year residential program for women called The Magdalene Program, and all residents (along with many graduates) are employed in one of Thistle Farms’ social enterprises, including Body & Home and The Cafe at Thistle Farms that serves breakfast, lunch and Nashville’s only daily tea service.
