HUGH LOVEL (1947 - 2020), AUTHOR, FARMER, INSPIRING BIODYNAMIC INNOVATOR

Hugh Mark Sten Lovel of Blairsville, Georgia, passed away peacefully at age 73 on August 25, 2020, surrounded by his
wife, loving family and lifetime friends Bill Miller and Catherine Monet at Birds Nest Retreat on Dockery Road in Australia.
Hugh was a dedicated anthroposophist who studied the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher and
founder of the biodynamic approach to agriculture. Hugh moved to Union County, Georgia, in 1976 where he established
a small biodynamic farm that became the first CSA (community-supported agriculture) in the Southeastern U.S. CSA
members at Hugh’s farm received a weekly box of fresh organic vegetables, corn meal, cheeses, homemade hot sauce,
dill pickles and Hugh’s famous garlic pigtails sauce.
Hugh co-founded the Southeast Biodynamic Conference in the late 1980s with mentors Harvey Lilse and Hugh
Courtney and his longtime friend and collaborator, Jeff Poppen of Long Hungry Creek Farm in Red Boiling Springs, Ten-
nessee. This annual on-farm conference was held for twelve years in Blairsville before migrating to Tennessee. The 32nd
annual conference took place in October 2019 at Jeff Poppen’s farm. Hugh was on
the program every year as a featured speaker.
A natural-born teacher, Hugh was the author of two books: A Biodynamic Farm
for Growing Wholesome Food (1994) and Quantum Agriculture: Biodynamics and
Beyond (2014), as well as numerous articles published in Acres USA, Acres Australia,
the Biodynamic Journal, and other periodicals. Hugh migrated to Australia in 2005
to teach and consult.
Hugh and his wife Shabari Bird established Quantum Agriculture in 2009 and
became worldwide travelers teaching at conferences, workshops and field days,
and conducting on-farm consultations in many countries. Hugh was internationally
known for developing the theory and practice of quantum agriculture. Friends are
