Misfits Journey

Misfit Island is a place of acceptance and healing

Misfit Island is a farm in the middle of the country. It is dedicated to Christ for the purpose of feeling loved, accepted, respected, and a place of healing and rest. The blog is our story of growth, learning, and digging ourselves out of pits we created. We want to share our journey with you in hopes that it may also help others along the way.
