Indigo Girls Stop By For A Visit

The Atlanta-based music duo, the Indigo Girls, stopped by Thistle Farms this morning while they were in Nashville recording a Christmas album. Emily Saliers and Amy Ray are not only amazingly talented musicians, but are also committed activists. From adding a link to thistlefarms.org to the activism page on their website to Emily’s guest appearance at the Find Your Way Home Benefit Concert in April – we are so grateful to Amy and Emily for their support of our program!

After meditation, the Thistle Farms staff gathered around for a group picture with our new friends.

Amy & her dog hang out in the store. Looks like Thistle Farms has a new mascot!
