OUR SOCIAL ENTERPRISE:
The women of Thistle & Bee harv
est honey, bake granola, and create products to generate revenue to support programs designed to help them on a journey of healing and hope. Our choice of bees and honey as the center of our business model is no accident. We harvest honey, yes, but we also support honeybee health by observing best practices and by providing training for the survivors who care for our bees. Thistle & Bee is raising bees to make products that are good for the earth and healthy for you. Our products include: honey, granola, hand-made teas and the list is growing. When you purchase our products you become part of a movement of people across the globe walking alongside survivors whose lives are being transformed. Thistle & Bee is part of a nation-wide network of sister organizations inspired by Thistle Farms in Nashville, Tennessee. Together, we believe in the power of love to change the world. HOW YOU CAN HELP:
