Business Member Highlight: Simpson & Vail Inc.
July 6, 2021
Simpson & Vail Inc., one of the oldest Tea companies in the USA, is a family-owned business dedicated to offering quality teas from around the world. We have over 375 teas (organic, black, green, oolong, decaf, flavored, flowering, white, and blends) from China, India, Japan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Nepal, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Colombia.
Our herbal section includes the basics, such as chamomile, peppermint, tulsi, and rooibos, as well as our own specially formulated blends & our complete line of Yoga Herbal tisanes & Herbal Benefits blends. Since our origins also lie in the coffee industry it is only natural that we continue with a fine representation of high-quality Arabica beans from the various coffee regions.
We have light and dark roasts, swiss-water decaf, fair trade, organic, shade-grown, rain-forest alliance, and flavored. We are on a continuous search for new, practical, and attractive tea accessories to complement our teas. Storage jars, teapots, tea mugs, strainers, infusers, and delightful tea cozies are just some of the many accessories you will find. Also offered are delectable cookies, honey, jams, scone mixes, and more. We sell our products on our website and in our store in Brookfield, CT.

CT NOFA Launches Equipment Share Program
CT NOFA is proud to announce the launch of our Equipment Share Program. In partnership with The Hickories in Ridgefield, Connecticut, this program aims to provide both commercial farmers and home gardeners free access to both specialized equipment and expertise in a shared environment. Equipment Share days at The Hickories will include free soil analysis, seed winnowing services, nut cleaning, compost tea brewing workshops, and much more.
Advocacy News: May 2026
The Good News: CT Senator Chris Murphy has introduced a bill (bipartisan and bicameral) to increase funding for Agricultural Management Assistance to $30 million and to expand the eligible uses for these funds to include “soil health improvements, composting, implementing organic farming, and food safety certification in addition to existing authorized uses such as water management structure and soil erosion control.” Let’s thank Senator Murphy for introducing this bill!
The Bad News: The Farm Bill passed the House of Representatives on April 30, despite 320 food, farm, and conservation organizations, including CT NOFA, voicing our opposition to a bill that does not fix SNAP, does not support new and beginning farmers, and does not adequately support conservation programs or organic agriculture. Now it goes to the Senate and we need to urge both of Connecticut’s Senators to reject this Farm Bill.
