Support The Women Of The Magdalene/Thistle Farms Community!
Celebrate 10 Years of Thistle Farms by Providing Education and Training to 10 New Women
- the women behind the products at thistle farms
- Terry oversees production of all handmade candles. She is a 2006 Magdalene graduate and has been working at Thistle Farms since 2004. She has been clean & sober for 7 years. She says "I'm very grateful & glad to be here."
- Amy & Karlee create paper from trash bags and thistles. This unique paper is turned into boxes for our healing oils and greeting cards. Amy joined Thistle Farms last July and has just celebrated a year clean. "It took me 29 years to accumulate one year clean," Amy says. "I couldn't have done it without Thistle Farms."
- Valerie is the head of the shipping department and prays over each box that is sent out. She is a 2008 graduate of Magdalene and works at Thistle Farms as the shipping manager. Valerie says "Thistle Farms was the first place that I could go to learn new job skills, how to get to work on time, how to just clock in at a job period."

Over the past 10 years, Thistle Farms has grown from a line of two products made by four women in a church kitchen, to a company housed in an 11,000 square foot manufacturing and sales facility that employs 32 women and has a line of over 20 products. Over 100 women have been trained and employed over the past decade. Our products are available in 140 stores across the country, including a number of Whole Food stores.
In celebrating 10 years of Thistle Farming, we are hoping to raise $10,000 during the month of June to provide education and training for 10 new women beginning work - and a new way of life - at Thistle Farms.
