About Us

Thistle Farms is in the business of healing, care and recovery.  This is a serious business with lovely products that needs as much support as people can offer.

The group produces natural body and home products that are crafted by women survivors of prostitution, trafficking, and addiction.

Employing over 1,800 women worldwide, its mission of healing and care runs through the core of its product line of soothing, essential healing oils, candles, lotions, and shaving gels.

Founder Becca started Thistle Farms because she believed that women who have survived trafficking, prostitution and addiction deserve a second chance at life. The company offers a 2-year residential program, based in Nashville, Tennessee, providing housing, food, healthcare, therapy and education, without charging residents.

The residents and graduates of the residential program are employed in one of Thistle’s social enterprises. Here the women can learn new job skills and make a living wage to support themselves.

When you support Thistle Farms, you help women survivors heal.
