In January 1999, Francis Marion (Buddy) Hay, Jr. and Debra M
atthews
Hay bid a contract to supply tooth powder to the General Services
Administration. Debra had an extensive background in manufacturing and Buddy
had completed quite a few courses in Chemistry. The product was formulated by
Buddy. Debra designed the packaging and labels. Debra designed the
manufacturing process.
The first days of manufacturing were a family affair. Parents, aunts,
cousins, and friends helped get “powder in the bottle”. The start up was
challenging but successful. The first order and all proceeding orders were
shipped on time until one week in September of 1999.
On 27 September of 1999, Buddy Hay died of a massive coronary at the age of
41. An extension on the pending order was requested and received from the
General Services Administration. Debra continued to manage the business and
met the commitments for not only tooth powder but, also on a new contract for supplying bundled firewood to the N.W.
and S.W. Military commissaries.
In February 2001, Heavenly Harvest, Inc. was incorporated with Debra
owning 100% of the stock.
The business continues to grow and be blessed. In November 2001, Luther
W. (Bill) Hampton
married Debra. As her husband, Bill began to help Debra carry not only
the responsibilities of the business but, became son-in-law to not only
Debra's parents but, Buddy's parents also.
Bill is a man of God who walks the walk in love towards all. He is a
mighty man of valor.
Work still is a family affair which now involves the "generations to
come".
