Thistle Farms

Together, we light the way to housing, healing, and economic freedom for women survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. 🕯️💜

We believe that love is more powerful than all the forces that drive women to the street, and a strong community will help them not only heal, but thrive. Through safe housing, healthcare, counseling, and employment, we provide the tools for physical, mental, and economic freedom. All housing and clinical services are provided free of charge. Meaningful employment leading to financial freedom is i

nstrumental in the healing journey. Our social enterprises provide gateway and permanent jobs for survivors, as well revenue for our mission. Women survivors provide leadership roles in every department. Over the past year, these enterprises collectively reached more than 40,000 customers, providing over $2m in income for survivors. And we are just getting started.

"The candle is important to me because I know it was lit so I could find my way home. Every time I pour a candle, I just think about how grateful I am for that. Cause the thing is, candle doesn't look for a specific person. But for all of us who have struggled in life with hardship or failure, the candle finds us and lights the way."

— LaShonda, Body & Home Team Lead and 2023 Graduate

At Thistle Farms, every product tells a story of overcoming, healing, and new beginnings thanks to the meaningful employment it provides. Behind each candle or lotion is a woman who has journeyed through hardship and found strength in community, becoming a living embodiment of our belief that Love Heals.

“I work in manufacturing and make the bug sprays and room mists, mostly—and I love, love my job because the products go all over the world, and they’ve got part of me in the products. I’ll see one of our room sprays on social media and I can say, ‘That’s me! I made that!’ I get such a great feeling out of that because I never thought I’d be sober and in a job that I love.”

We believe in the transformative power of meaningful employment. When women have access to job training, career opportunities, and supportive resources, they can build the skills and confidence needed to create the future they envision for themselves.

Rachel's journey is a powerful example. After completing training through AnnieCannons, she took a chance and applied for an apprenticeship at Thistle Farms. Today, she serves as our eCommerce & Web Specialist, using her talents to help further our mission every day. What began as an opportunity became a career and, in Rachel's words, one of the moments that changed her life.
