Candy Kitchen, New Mexico

Candy Kitchen, New Mexico

Candy Kitchen is an unincorporated community on the border of the Cibola and McKinley Counties of the U.S. state of New Mexico, in the northwestern part of the state.

History

The name Candy Kitchen originated with a rancher who made moonshine liquor during the prohibition era in the United States. As a front for purchasing large amounts of sugar to produce his liquor, he manufactured pinon nut candy. People would come to his ranch to purchase candy over the counter and illegal liquor under the counter.

The isolated and rustic nature of the area has attracted a colorful array of individualists. A number of artists currently make their home in the area and it has been the location of several alternative lifestyle communities, such as a branch of the Radical Faeries.

Attractions

Candy Kitchen is currently the home of the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary which provides shelter for wolves and wolf-dog crosses who have been raised by people who could no longer provide care for them.
