The Regenerative
Learning Center
About the Center
Work in Beauty is committed to the promotion of regenerative agricultural practices and the restoration of our environment. To that end, we established, in 2017, the Regenerative Learning Center in Candy Kitchen, NM, as a demonstration and research site. We are located on ten acres in the small community of Candy Kitchen, NM.
Workshops
Throughout the growing season workshops are offered at the Regenerative Learning Center. The workshops have covered anything from regenerative agriculture, rainwater harvesting earthworks, mushroom cultivation, raising chickens, and more. Check out or event page for a list of current workshops.
Rainwater Harvesting
Earthworks Demonstration
Throughout the ten acre property, one can find numerous demonstration examples of rainwater harvesting earthworks. These include swales, terraces, infiltration basins, brush dams, and more.
Retreats
The Regenerative Learning Center hosts retreats giving by Work in Beauty and other organizations. The site has an outdoor kitchen with running water, outdoor showers, and a "bunk house" trailer with four individual rooms with bedding space for twelve, as well as plenty of camping space.
Candy Kitchen
Community Garden
The Regenerative Learning Center is host to the Candy Kitchen Community Garden. The garden is run by volunteers from the local community and has been growing every year. For 2023, the garden will have two hoop houses as well as the outside garden. See the Candy Kitchen Facebook page for current information.
