We are a group of students currently in high school from Rocky River, Ohio.

“My two favorite things about River Sprouts: I can actively help others in a way that allows me to see the process through from beginning to end, and more importantly, free doughnuts.”
Fiona
Favorite Vegetable: Cucumbers
“My favorite memory is when we were all taking a picture outside the greenhouse after a harvest and it was supposed to be one of those where everybody jumps on three, but Cora jumped too late, so in the picture, she was still crouching on the group while everybody was in midair. It was really funny.”
Stephanie
Favorite Vegetable: Green Beans
“My favorite memory is when the greenhouse was finally done and we gift-wrapped it and took funny photos.”
Ana
