🌿✨ Meet StorySprout
Tucked deep in the woods above Keuka Lake—where snow softens the branches and the world grows quiet—you’ll find Kindness Grove, the home of a small, whimsical visitor named StorySprout.
StorySprout appears only during the winter months, when kindness matters most. With rosy cheeks, a curious heart, and a well-worn satchel slung over her shoulder, she wanders from place to place gathering stories, moments, and gentle lessons meant to be shared. Inside her satchel are tales of friendship, courage, gratitude, and wonder—each one carefully tucked away, waiting for the right moment to be passed along.
Wherever StorySprout goes, kindness follows. She leaves behind small surprises, thoughtful words, and stories that invite children (and grown-ups, too) to slow down, look closer, and remember the magic of caring for one another. Her visits are fleeting, but the joy she spreads lingers long after her footprints fade from the snow.
If you happen upon a story left behind this winter, chances are StorySprout has been near—quietly doing what she does best: planting seeds of kindness, one story at a time.
Stay curious. Be kind. And keep an eye on the woods… you never know when StorySprout might appear. 📖
Stay Rooted. Stay Keuka.
— And stay tuned for more StorySprout magic.

“This is why I love these villages.
Not for the lights… not for the gifts…
but for the way hearts gather here.”
