Legacy of Japanese woman’s apple pie store lives on in California

Michiko Kameshima, a native of Nagoya, moved to the United States on her own in 1949, four years after the end of World War II. After studying home economics in college in the U.S., she got married and became the mother of three sons. While running an apple orchard and a farm stand with her husband, she opened Mom’s Apple Pie, an apple pie shop, in Sebastopol, northern California, in 1984.
