Thistle Farms

Thistle Farms

Thistle Farms is a non-profit business in Nashville, Tennessee that manufactures and distributes bath and body products. Thistle Farms has been operated by the Magdalene program, a residential recovery program for Nashville-area women with histories of drug abuse and prostitution, since 2001. Women who are part of the program make the products by hand from natural ingredients, including organically grown lavender they harvest from a farm in nearby Burns, Tennessee.
