Hi there,
I'm very relieved to find someone else who has been swindled by the Art Farm. I registered for a Natural Building course for this past September... and after my payment and some very sketchy communication, they told me that the Art Farm was closed indefinitely because of a lightening storm and that my payment for the course was considered a "donation," and thus no refund. I've been battling this payment with my credit card company, with paypal, with them for several months now.
They apparently filed for bankruptcy in August. Their website remained unchanged, and they were still accepting money for products/courses they were no longer offering.
I am not sure what their current status is, but this thing seems to drag on.
Thanks for listening,
Tings

So sorry you got caught out too. How much did you hand over?

500 pounds for the course... Have you come across many other folks who have taken the fall?

Hi Tings
Yes, I've come across two other people who like me paid for baths they never got...

Unfortunately I have been hit harder than all of you combined... I am from Australia, and myself and a number of others applied for an interior design internship... Now, suddenly less than two weeks b4 it was scheduled to begin we have been informed that the internship has been cancelled! so not only have we lost the 1900 pounds the course cost but all the money we spent on flights, travel and equipment for our trip! Our next 2 months were planned out and now we are lost and truely ropeable. They have said they will try to start refunding us, but if they can't even refund 400pounds i dont think they will be able to refund 1900 to at least 6 ppl... I have also noticed that their site has now been taken down.
I am only a student, and this has been a heavy blow for me...
