It was founded by [[Wulf Zendik]] (1920-1999)  (previously known as Lawrence E. Wulfing), poet, novelist, philosopher, and musician. He was born in [[El Paso, Texas]],<ref name="HP">{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/zendik-farm-for-sale_n_2736216|title=LOOK: Peek Inside West Virginia's Most Infamous Cult...

During the 1950's and 60's, he composed two novels (''A Quest Among The Bewildered,'' and ''Zendik)'' while in Paris, Spain, and Los Angeles, California.<ref name="LA">{{Cite web |date=April 19, 1987 |title=Commune Unplugs From the World to Save It |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-04-19-me-2143-story.html |website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref>

While living in a bohemian boarding house in Los Angeles during the early 60's, Wulfing met Carol Merson Weinberg (1938-2012). She was an aspiring actress born in Brooklyn, NY. She dropped the 'C' from her first name and became Arol Wulfing (later Arol Wulf), while Wulfing took the name Wulf Zendik. Zendik is a [[Sanskrit]] language word for outlaw or heretic.<ref name="LA" />

The two were convinced that humanity was heading in the wrong direction which prompted them to move in together at a small ranch near Perris, California owned by Wulf's parents; and created Zendik Farm there in 1969.<ref name="WP">{{Cite news |date=January 22, 2006 |title=The Green Alternative At Zendik Arts Farm, a Commune Strives for a Dollar and Change |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2006/01/22/the-green-alternative-span-classbankheadat-zendik-arts-farm-a-commune-strives-for-a-dollar-and-changespan/37e802a1-31c0-4871-a7e6-ffed0437ab58/ |newspaper=Washington Post}}</ref>
