ABOUT SIMPAUG FARMS
Simpaug Farms is committed to feeding our communities with clean, high-quality, flavorful food. Our family farmers employ sustainable practices that uphold small-farm values and reverence for the land.
The farm is located on 250 acres of preserved farmland in West Suffield, with the main business office in Ridgefield. Simpaug Farms has been delivering Connecticut Grown produce to Fairfield and Hartford Counties since 2011. We operate a 200 member CSA with weekly pickup at Bailey’s Backyard, Ridgefield; Elm Restaurant, New Canaan; Bar Sugo, Norwalk; and several private deliveries. Simpaug Farms is a regular vendor at the Fairfield Farmers Market and Ellington Farmers Market.
Simpaug Farms is a member of the Connecticut Northeast Organic Farmers Association (CT NOFA), and a signatory of the Farmer's Pledge. Although we are not overseen by a certifying agency, and therefore cannot use the labeling term “organic”; our vegetables and fruits are grown naturally, without the use of synthetic pesticides. Our animals are pasture-raised without hormones or antibiotics.
