Description
White's Wayside has been a part of the Churchville community since 1929 when Mary Eavers White started selling her now-famous WhiteWay bread. With her husband, George Franklin White (and four children), the Whites lived upstairs and called their business, White Way Lunch. Along with the bread, they sold homemade ice cream, pies, and sandwiches to the cattle/turkey drivers, CCC workers, neighbors, hunters and travelers who passed by on Route 250. The Whites used homegrown produce, dairy and meats from their farm. It was by all accounts a family enterprise. In 1958, their daughter, Charlotte, took the reins and ran the popular diner with her husband Lawrence and four children. Carolyn Maxwell was one of Charlottes four children, and it was Mrs. Maxwell who graciously taught the current owners the original bread recipe from the 1920s. White Way Lunch was sold out of the family in the mid-1980s. It continued as an eatery until closing in 2009. In 2012, the current owners spent the next four years bringing it back to what you see todayWhites Wayside. It's a great place for the local community to gather around warm food, good people and share a part of history!
