Thistle Farms is a nonprofit social enterprise, based in Nashville, TN, dedicated to helping women survivors recover and heal from trafficking, prostitution, and addiction.

We provide a safe place to live, a meaningful job, and a lifelong sisterhood of support because we believe love is the most powerful force in the world.

Thistle Farms is proud to partner with Vanderbilt Women in Business this April.The 2024 Nashville MakHERs Market presented by Vanderbilt Women in Business is a mission-driven, pop-up event empowering female-owned businesses in a philanthropic marketplace. By finding strength within community support, our primary vision is to promote female leadership. In doing so, the MakHERs Market partners with small-businesses to support local consumerism, sustainable fashion, and uplift women in our community.

Our investment into female-led enterprise is just one piece of our dual mission. The MakHERs Market uses its platform to promote socioeconomic opportunity in communities of need. Therefore, each of our vendors pledge to donate a portion of proceeds to Thistle Farms.

Help support our mission to unite women across Nashville!
