It's Time to Harvest Some Thistles!

Thistle Farms needs thistles for their handmade paper.  You've probably seen thistles blooming along the roadside or maybe they're growing in your very own yard!  Here's your chance to put those prickly but beautiful plants to good use.  Watch this two-minute video on how to harvest them for Thistle Farms.

So, grab a friend and go harvest some thistles!  I'm pretty sure you'll have some good stories to tell about it later - maybe even some Lucy and Ethel type stories.  Contact me (via the comments section of this post) if you need help or more info about delivering the dried thistles to Thistle Farms.

By the way, here's some great advice about serving in your community.  Happy thistle harvesting!

P.S.  A few days after writing this post I harvested thistles for the first time.  Please read here before going yourself!
