Editing Zendik Farm (section)

=== Topanga, CA (1982-1985) ===
The winter of 1981-1982 was spent at a site near Salton City that the group purchased the previous Spring. The bus caravan moved to a rented house near Venice beach until they found and purchased their more permanent home in Topanga.

The Topanga house began as a pair of run-down buildings clinging to a hillside that any other buyer would have torn down to start over. Some members refurbished the houses while others built a series of rock walls and terraces on the slope. Individual living spaces were improvised from crawl spaces, tree houses and utility sheds.

Living in the Los Angeles region gave them access to influential figures in the environmental movement and the entertainment industry, which led to a series of "mags" called the Ecolibrium Interviews. Zendiks selling mags became a regular fixture outside health food stores, bookstores, and supermarkets in the area.

Due to air quality issues, Wulf could not live at Topanga so part of the group stayed behind to prepare the site for sale. Meanwhile the rest of the group spent time in rented spaces near Ensenada, Mexico and Imperial Beach. When the sale of the Topanga site was completed late in 1985, the group reconsolidated at a farmstead near Thousand Palms.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Opincar |first=Abe |date=August 15, 1985 |title=The Ecolibrium commune settles in Imperial Beach |url=https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/1985/aug/15/communal-core/ }}</ref>
