Title: Creator/Owner
Organization: Flourish Juice Co.
Kaitlin Soto is the creator and
owner of Flourish Juice Co. in
Joliet, Illinois. She is dedica-
ted to educating others on
how to improve their quality
of life through nutrition and
how to respect the environ-
ment through sustainable
practices.
She graduated college
with honors when she re-
ceived a bachelor's degree
in Nutrition Science from
Benedictine University in
Lisle, Illinois. She's received
awards for nutrition educa-
tion, community education,
volunteerism, and nutrition
advocacy. Her business has
been flourishing since 2016.
Her 6-year-old son is the
company's marketing mana-
ger in hopes of encouraging
other children to eat (and
drink) healthier.
Flourish Juice Co was
cultivated from communi-
ty outreach for a healthier
way to fuel your body, mind,
and spirit while caring for
the Earth. Flourish incen-
tivizes customers to return
glass juice bottles to its shop
through a bottle-recycle
program. The company
washes, sterilizes, and refills
bottles, diverting waste from
landfills. By 2024 Soto hopes
to have farmland in order to
create a circular economy
supporting only local food
systems.
