Nick French is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who, after working in the finance and real estate industries for 20 years, desired to make more of a difference in the world. In 2008, he started Frangiosa Farms. He began beekeeping and set out with the mission to save the bees and provide honey as a pure and natural product for consumers. While working on the farm, Nick began to learn about the benefits of hemp and its use as a natural alternative. During those years, society was not as accepting of hemp and cannabis as it is today but despite that, he pressed on to learn about the natural benefits that the plant provided.
Nick’s desire to identify and combine natural products that add value to the lives of people and pets came to a career changing moment in 2015. He combined his beehives’ pure and raw honey with Colorado local full spectrum hemp extract. He also worked with his wife Ali, a certified aromatherapist, to add organic essential oils for additional health benefits and flavor. In that year, Colorado Hemp Honey was born.
Nick continued to work closely with hemp extractors in Colorado for the hemp that was infused into Colorado Hemp Honey. Having studied biology and botany himself, he worked with some of the best Colorado hemp extractors in the industry. With this knowledge, Nick and his team started growing hemp at Frangiosa Farms and harvested and extracted it for Colorado Hemp Honey in 2018.
This was a big step in the direction of societal change. As an advocate for legalization and education in the cannabis industry, Nick sees Colorado Hemp Honey as not only a way to help people and pets with life changing products, but to educate everyone on the value and benefits of hemp and cannabis.
With his team, Nick has developed and maintained successful relationships with distributors, hired account managers to get product onto shelves in retail locations across the globe, created new products, and marketed and advertised products at a national and international level. His business experience with managing, analyzing, and reporting on corporate financials has been critical to the company’s success. It has also given him great insight into how to run a successful business and build a team that has led to the company’s overall growth.
