Barn dust in the milk where it tasted like the smell of a barn, it even felt gritty. I later tried water buffalo milk from the grocery store and it wasn't tasting like this, it was smooth and sweet. They made claims about their tech being amazing but it doesn't change that something was wrong and despite promising a replacement that fell through. They stopped answering. Now based on accounts surfacing it looks like their program exploits people and causes harm and I feel bad about supporting them.

What are you thinking about shutting the Volken ac... read more

BE AWARE. I support all programs that ensure people have the chance to recover from all addictions. This academy though is a far cry from anything reasonable. Peace Arch news has reported FORCED LABOUR, 56 HOUR WORKWEEKS, TALKING BANS (Not being able to talk to people of the opposite sex, or anyone outside your “group”) multiple injuries due to unsafe working practices and finally NO Worksafe BC coverage. This means the products you buy from here are due to forced labour and mistreatment as well as malpractice from the acade... read more
