He took a degree in philosophy of science at the University of Rochester, NY, studied for a ear at the Frankfurt Schoolof Critical Theory before taking a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. Offered a position at the University of Washington in 1967, he found land on Lopez Island, where he and his wife Elizabeth Simpson (Ph.D, University of Washington), developed a biodynamic demonstration farm, a farm-to-school program for local students, and educational programs for interns, apprentices, and the public.
