Mission | Soil Cycle

Soil Cycle strives to simplify sustainable living and encourage citizens and businesses to reduce food waste. By diverting food from the local landfill, we hope to create a more sustainable community. Once processed, cured compost will be returned to subscribers providing them a tool to grow their own food, connect with the land and ultimately complete the cycle!

Mission:

Soil Cycle's mission is to promote the natural food cycle by providing environmentally sustainable compost services and education.

Vision:

Bicycles are amazing tools that have the ability to transport people and materials efficiently, economically, and emission-free. Soil Cycle has been inspired to use bicycle-power for these reasons and many more. We are proud to be apart of the ever-growing bicycle community in the Missoula area. Bicycles allow us to connect more easily with our community and promote sustainability through direct communication as we navigate local neighborhoods in a cleaner, more friendly manner. Bicycles are key to our mission because they allow us to complete the food cycle in a sustainable and community-minded way.

Why Soil Cycle?

"In starting Soil Cycle, I knew I wanted to do something that reduced waste rather than adding to our ever-growing landfills. I think about food a lot, in part, because I love to eat, but also because I value the effort and beauty of the growing process. Wasted food is a big issue and I think we should honor our food enough to return it to its natural cycle. I believe that difficult issues, like food waste, require unique solutions that often involve entire communities and sometimes...even bicycles! People are immensely powerful especially when they come together around a common cause. One of my goals with Soil Cycle was to push our community to think about their food and the natural cycle of life differently." -Caitlyn
