Our Story

 

Hello there and welcome! My name is Mel Garcia, land steward, craftsperson & farmer-

Thistle Valley is a small farm located along the Elkhorn Slough in Royal Oaks, CA with a focus on medicinal flowers and herbs. Femme owned and operated with a mission to provide plant-based goods that support the human- nature relationship.

All plants are grown organically with a dedication to preserving the natural ecosystems of the land. This involves methods of composting, greywater systems and creating our own soil amendments. All soap is readily biodegradable and uses minimal packaging (all packaging can be home composted or re-used).
