The Nature of Moments
Alegre Farm is a center for agriculturally-based education, agritourism, and economic development as well as a beautiful place to gather for special moments like weddings, birthday parties, vow renewals, and corporate or community events. Purchased in 2004 by Juan and Pilar Quintero the farm was meant to give their three boys more space while fostering an appreciation for organic, healthy living. The farm serves the local community as well as surrounding counties by providing education and hands-on experience for children and adults through field trips, camps, and workshops. The goal is to not only enhance the essential process of farming but also to educate on the origins of what goes on our plates.
Alegre farm offers two spacious outdoor pavilions as well as a large banquet hall to serve the community. Visitors can book farm-themed birthday parties, corporate or private events, and weddings at the farm. We now offer on-site accommodations and would be happy to set up a tour for you to see our 7 bedroom, 4 bath farmhouse, great for family reunions, and full wedding weekends.
Please note, that the farm is currently a private working farm, and is not open to the public. Our normal office hours are 9 am – 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Please feel free to contact us here with any general questions or to request assistance in making a reservation for a future event.

The Quintero Family
Pilar Quintero
Owner
Alegre Farm owner Pilar is one of the only female Latina farmers that own property in the state of Georgia. Self-taught through research, mentoring programs and involvement in agricultural forums, her passion for teaching families about sustainable farming, eating healthy, and living life as naturally as possible has expanded Alegre Farm in many ways. She now teaches and arranges workshops to teach sustainable living using natural and holistic methods while working side by side with her son Nico to run the farm.
Juan Quintero
Owner
Farm life had always appealed to Juan Quintero, a native Colombian, with its tranquil lifestyle away from the scurry of corporate or construction realms. As a general construction contractor for QBI Home Improvements, he no longer deals with the day to day himself but continues to embrace his wife’s vision for Rancho Alegre as a place people can come to feel the peace he experiences daily. This passion stems from horse-loving roots in his grandfather who always raised horses and mother whose heart they won over. Armed with solid advice from faithful friends, magazines, and experiences at shows, Juan aims to develop a lucrative agritourism facility that will educate kids and parents who have interest in the fast-growing agricultural world.
