Story behind the Paradiso Farm name

Years ago when I ordered my first fig trees one of them was a variety called Paradiso fig. When I was researching the variety I fell in love with the story behind the name. It sounded like something I could see myself doing. The story and the name also connected with me in that I feel I have found my paradiso living on our farm in Charlotte, VT.

The paradiso fig tree has a charming story attached to its name. The tale is of an old man in Genoa, Italy, who enjoyed a breakfast of figs and bread every day, sitting under his prized fig tree. When people passing by made it their business to inquire as to what was going on, the man informed them “This is my Paradiso (Paradise).”

Dovie lived in Italy for three and a half years and experienced some of the best coffees in the world.

Dovie and Steve shared these memories and in the fall of 2016 together created Paradiso Farm Coffee!
