Zendik Farm

Zendik Farm, officially known as Zendik Farm Arts Cooperative, was a community of artists and environmentalists based in southeastern San Diego County that degenerated to a physically, mentally, and sexually abusive cult. It was founded by Wulf Zendik and run into the ground by his sadistic wife, Arol.

Zendik is a Sanskrit language word for outlaw or heretic.

Originally the cult was your regular hippie commune venture. Wulf Zendik was given a ranch by his parents and dragged along his beat, 20 years his younger common law wife, exotic dancer Arol to help make it all happen.

Why not a bunch of us get together and survive together, giving us all more time to create art and learn to relax with each other. His folks offered us a ranch they owned in the high desert; if we paid the taxes and kept the place up, we could live there and do whatever we chose. And people came from all over the world; came to this little farming town on the edge of rocky desert hills in Perris, California. They came in hearses, buses, motorcycles, hitchhiking, planes, trains, etc. to join in this experiment we were starting."

The commune had a good run for about 40 years until Wulf died. It was described previously as a well intentional community of 20-30 adults and 5-10 children, founded in the late 60’s. The group practiced a life of frugal self-reliance – based on an ethic of environmental conservation – on an organic farm with vegetables, poultry, goats, horses and all the work these things demand.

Their mission was twisted into giving brainwashed women herpes and distributing some hippie art magazines a few times each year on various street corners to abstract from their actual functions of putting Wulf on a pedestal as a messiah. Despite the desire to save the earth and having respectable interest and goals up until the late 90's, this did not prevent unfortunate death and mass rape within their folds. They had this quirk of referring to society outside of the cult as "Deathculture". The modern cult preached that competition between people is evil (unless you're pitting two people against each other so you can rape their girlfriend or just get your rocks off), and truth and co-operation are saviors (when it benefits Arol). They grew their own food and sewed their own clothes themselves, but as Arol put in in a 2009 blog post, the communistic cult was a failure. Their headquarters had a library consisted of second-hand books and covered subjects such as practical first aid and esoteric philosophy.

They also crammed many of their "lower tiered" members in small rooms and arranged to go on "walks" where they could all trade fluid and breed the womenfolk.

If you were lucky and a man in their crew, they'd tell you to eat off the floor with the dogs because you are not worthy of eating at a table. They will also get you to sell and destroy all of your belongings under the guise the cult needs some extra cash.
