Windfalls: Stories in the History of the Moore Apple Farm of Upstate New York

by Jeanne M. Cordts

Like wind-fallen apples, the touching stories and history of the Moore Family Farm have dropped onto the pages of this book. Windfalls brings together fascinating recollections of this Pompey Hollow family, using a backdrop of family history and rural New York State life. The successes and adventures of small twentieth century apple farms will never be duplicated, yet they live on in memories. The special qualities of the family that developed this business phenomenon are crystallized here as they engage us in their very personal, unique experiences. Author Jeanne Moore Cordts uses short stories, aging photographs, award-winning oils and watercolors, diaries, and even a few poems to bring a now gone era back to life.
