We are part of a future where independent farms thrive
We are farmers
The Vidacycle home farm is a 12 hectare family farm in Chile. As fellow farmers, we understand the need to build a diversified, resilient farming business. We originally created the first Vidacycle app for our own farm – after talking to neighbours we realised that no one was making digital tools for farms like ours. We started to share what we had made with other farmers, and Soilmentor grew from there!
We enable farmers with digital tools
Vidacycle started with an aim to build simple, digital tools with the power to revolutionise opportunities for independent, ecologically-minded farmers like ourselves!
