Kokolulu Farm And Qigong Center
Hawaiian organic farm intern program rip off! Avoid! They will steal your money!

This so-called organic farm is run by two con artists name Karin and Lew Whitney, and they have been ripping people off with their fraudulent internship program for years. These two a*holes lure people in with the promise of a beautiful organic farm and orchard near the ocean, a serious group yoga and qigong practice and fresh, organic meals from the land. They charge a non-refundable $1500 for a mandatory three-month visit that is riddled with bulls*t from day one!

To start, there isn't even a real farm on their land. There are two struggling gardens that produce very little food, a few fruit producing papaya trees and there is absolutely no orchard at all. Most of their wasted property is covered with grass. Their web site claims that all of the food eaten at Kokolulu either comes from their "organic farm" or from a local organic producer. Both claims are lies! 99% of the food comes from the f*ing Costco in Kona, HI, and most of it isn't organic.

By the way, while I'm on the topic of food, Karin Whitney is a real psycho. As an old, dried up hag obsessed with controlling as much as she can, she polices the kitchen making sure you take as little food as possible (even though YOU paid for it), while allowing her fat, bloated, lazy, disorganized, disgusting, fat-a*ed husband (Lew Whitney) eat as much as he can.

During the interview process, they tell you such crap like how you were selected out of a hundred other applicants, that there is something special about you, and all about what a wonderful, spiritual place Kokolulu is. All of that is a fraud. They are con artists that know exactly how to tell you what you want to hear, and it works. Lew Whitney even told me how his farm has such a great reputation and promised to send me his references. Not only did I never get the references, I found out that Kokolulu has a horrible reputation amongst the locals in Hawi, HI. Most of the Kokolulu interns leave early and angry once they realize the bullshit they have been dealt.

When they told me I was selected, I was pressured to send them the $1500 as fast as I could. Lew told me that if he didn't get the money within three days, I wouldn't be able to come to Kokolulu. He also said that the fee would go up to $1700 soon, and I needed to hurry and rush the money. Of course, this is total bulls*t. There wasn't any fee hike, and only a con artist wants your money that fast, especially when he won't refund it.

Their web site claims their farm is organic and styled with permaculture design. All lies! There isn't any permaculture design at all, and their claims to be organics are sketchy at best. They start their transplants with potting soil that contains wetting agents, and this is absolutely not organic at all! In reality, Karin and Lew have virtually no knowledge of farming or even gardening and have never completely eaten off of their own land. What little food does grow there mostly goes to waste. They allow many things to rot in the ground or just let plants go to seed instead of getting up off of their lazy a*es and harvesting. Kokolulu Farm and Qigong Center is a complete and total rip off. Anyone considering this place needs to thing again!
