About Us
We are The Whiteside's and we are delighted you are here. We look forward to serving you and the local community with farm fresh, sustainable oysters and carefully curated wearables that represent our love of oysters and the coast.
The Whiteside family and its contributions to the Apalachicola area date back to the 1800s. Andrew Whiteside's Great Grandfather, George Henry Whiteside was a Steamboat Captain to the Rebecca Everingham in Apalachicola. He also partnered in the founding of Apaplachicola Ice, one of the world's first ice manufacturers after John Gorrie invented refrigeration. The Whiteside family also helped build the local Trinity Episcopal Church in Apalachicola. Years later, the Whiteside family came back to the area and Frank Whiteside, Andrew's father, opened and ran the KOA campground in Eastpoint for many years.
This area and community have always been home for the Whiteside family and we are excited to work together to bring Aquaculture Farming innovations to the area and hope to keep you looking trendy and chic in the process.
