Kevin and Jennifer French love flowers. All kinds of flowers in a variety of colors and sizes. Their love of flowers was not on their radar when the couple purchased a circa 1800 farm at 250 Waumbeck Road in Wolfeboro about 26 years ago.
Says Jennifer as she is surrounded by large buckets of flowers arranged and ready to go to flower subscribers (more on that later in this story), "We started as a hobby farm with vegetable patches, pick-your-own strawberries, and flowers. In 2017 we got serious about growing flowers."
"Serious" is one word to describe the floral business that is the backbone of Full Moon Farm, because it is indeed physical, often hard work and it requires determination to succeed. But it's fun too, or else Jennifer might still be teaching instead of spending her days growing and always "thinking flowers" year-round.
"Kevin grew up in a dairy farming family and he is a lifelong Wolfeboro resident," Jennifer says. "I retired from teaching at Kingswood Regional High School in Wolfeboro last year to do this (flowers) full time."
