Simpson Spring, host
Our host, Simpson Spring, is the oldest independent bottling plant in the United States, providing pure spring water and old fashioned, hand-mixed sodas. Participants of the networking event will be able to take a tour of the family-owned and operated business, including a look at the facility and the spring itself. Located in South Easton, Simpson Spring is more than just a bottling plant: they run a company store, museum, and Saturday market. Read more about the company in this season's edition of edible South Shore & South Coast!
