Permaculture Farming
Growing food from the soil up — planting things that help each other along, catching the rain where it falls, and tending beds that feed people and leave the ground better than they found it.
Ramah, New Mexico — visits by appointment
An educational farm where people of any age can come learn self-sufficiency.
Our mission here at Misfit Kitchen Gardens is simple; create an educational farm where people of any age can come learn self sustainability. We provide hands on experience in permaculture farming, as well as other important skills such as building, food preservation and how to build community.

Natural Building
Build with what the land gives you — earth and natural materials worked into shelter, growing spaces, and places to gather.
-
Food Preservation & Community
Turn a harvest into a full pantry — canning, drying, fermenting — and learn how shared work knits a community together.
-
Community-building
None of this works alone. You’ll learn how shared work, skills, and meals grow a community that looks out for one another.

This farm runs on people who care about it. Your gift helps us host workshops, work days, and gatherings, and keeps the gates open to anyone, at any age, who wants to come and learn. If that sounds worth it to you, we’d be grateful for the help.
