His dad, Howard, loved coming home from work and tending to the garden behind their home in Providence Plantation. His mom, Judy, loved canning tomatoes and green beans and freezing strawberries and blackberries. No wonder the best days of David's childhood were spent playing in the dirt, picking the corn that grew 9 feet tall, getting under foot on those summer evenings spent out back in south Charlotte. He wasn't just playing, though. David would take the extras from the family's quarter-acre garden and set up a stand in the front yard, selling fresh produce to neighbors. He became so enthralled with the process of cultivating a garden and selling the fruits of their labor that the Whites sometimes had to buy tomatoes from the grocery. That's because David would load his little red Western Flyer wagon with tomatoes from the garden and go up and down the street, selling them for 25 cents apiece. David graduated from Providence High School in 1999. He went off to college, first to Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn., and then to Lees-McRae in Banner Elk in the N.C. mountains. After two years, like so many college students today, he decided to take a year off and enjoy life outside the classroom. That's when his life took a turn, though not a drastic one, given his roots. He started selling tomatoes and such for a living in 2002. His life's joy had become his life's work. David owns Produce On Providence. His company operates two stands. One is on the corner of the Shell gas station parking lot at Providence Road and Ballantyne Commons Parkway. The other stand is on Old Monroe Road in Stallings in Union County.
