Welcome to Moss and Thistle Farm, a sanctuary and place of healing, where we hold reverence for all stages of life's journey. Located in the southern Appalachian mountains, the farm is home to humans, a menagerie of beloved animals, and several thousand willows.

At Moss and Thistle Farm, we take pride in offering a unique array of burial vessels that embrace the beauty of nature and the artistry of things made by hand. Our signature willow caskets, intricately woven by Sarah, are a testament to the timeless tradition of natural burial, against the backdrop of the modern world. We also offer simple pine caskets and burial trays with shrouds, all carefully crafted to honor the essence of life and the sanctity of nature.

As stewards of the Earth, we are deeply committed to sustainability in every aspect of our work. In addition to the willow lovingly grown here and on other Appalachian family farms, we use unfinished pine, poplar, hemp, jute rope, cotton, linen, and wool. These biodegradable elements ensure that our caskets gently return to the Earth.

At Moss and Thistle Farm, our mission extends beyond crafting exquisite caskets; we advocate for environmentally sound burial practices, collaborate with local conservation cemeteries, work with community groups to establish new green cemeteries, and assist our friends and neighbors with home burials. We believe that burial is not just a ceremony, but a profound act of stewardship, acknowledging our interconnectedness with nature and fostering a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Join us at Moss and Thistle Farm and be part of a movement that celebrates life, love, and the beauty of our natural world. We hope to support you in creating meaningful and sustainable farewells, rooted in nature and the strength of community, and invite you to weave your own unique story into the fabric of this timeless tradition.
