New Mexico(Valencia county) first steps & outreach

Hi y'all! After becoming well educated on permaculture and putting in a fair bit of field work I'm here to see if we might find any friends out here, or friends who wish to be out here. Or anybody who might have tips & useful info specific to the area.
My partner & I have now put months of work into our single acre and are currently bringing up the roof of our earthbag dome. Our future plans include plenty of rocket oven design, lots of adobe, chickens, corn, beans, squash, perennial shrubs and trees, pomegranates - jujubes. Water systems are coming together, we are experimenting with earthen cisterns along with typical rainwater harvesting.
more personally, we are both 23, anticapitalist, well read on indigenous lifestyles and modern permaculture practices, psychedelic theory/UAP disclosure, I'm a pretty good cook, they're an inventive and passionate engineer, and together we're musicians.
we are extremely broke and have given every last dollar we have to this project. Geoff Lawton & Terrence McKenna helped inspire us mostly!
That's all I can focus on to write! add me on discord: camellia1208

Welcome to the desert and glad you came. Tree selection is going to be critical for you, so be picky about what you plant. Despite this list, the best method is to take nature hikes and gather seeds from the trees that are already there. Then spread those seeds in swales over winter. That is the easiet, most cost effective, and has the most long term success. This is my short and non-exhaustive list of what grows in less than 10 inches of rain in zone 7b
-Pinyon pine: nut tree, but may require some shading on the south side to get going.
-Rocky mountain/utah/alligator juniper: get some berries from this which turkeys love. At the very least it can act as a windbreak and start building soil.0
-New Mexico Olive: AKA stretchberry or NM privet. This is the American version of the olive.
-New Mexico locust: this is your prime nitrogen fixer.
-desert mahogany: also a nitrogen fixing bush
-false indigo: nitrogen fixing small tree with beautiful purple flowers
-three leaf sumac (rhus trilobata): edible berries
-goji berry
-maybe mesquite if you are in a hotter area (also a nitrogen fixer)
-also if you are zone 7 and have a runoff wash zone, then you could try almond, pistachio, or pecan planted into depressions.

Other shrubs:
-apache plume: nitrogen fixer
-sage: nitrogen fixer
-rabbitbrush: pollinator
-prickly pear: if you get some cash then you can order a spineless version, otherwise get seeds and whole plants from hiking around.
