Lancaster, VA, February 17, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Deborah A. Haydon of Lancaster, Virginia has been
recognized as a Professional of the Year for 2017-2018 by Strathmore's Who's Who Worldwide for her
outstanding contributions and achievements in the field of food.
Deb and her husband are working to revive the oyster business in the Chesapeake Bay area. What was
once the bedrock of this community, the decline of oyster beds and the economic downturn caused high
unemployment and poverty. Now the oysters are coming back and demand for them is growing. Her
processing plant creates a market for many watermen who work the rivers to sell their harvests. Her
business will directly benefit her community by providing jobs and will donate to the local food bank that
serves around 350 families every Thursday.
Born on June 28, 1953 in Fort Dix, New Jersey, Deb attended Burlington County Community College.
She managed a dairy farm for 23 years. She then served as a nurseryman growing native plants before
managing the company's satellite nursery. She has been with DT Callis Seafood, LLC for the past year.
Deb received the Stevie Award for Women Entrepreneurs in 2017. She married Terry K. Haydon on
April 19, 2014, and has two sons. In her spare time she enjoys horseback riding, fishing and family
activities.
"Never ask anyone to do anything you would not do. No one is above another. Treat others as you would
want to be treated. And never judge another until you have walked at least one mile in their shoes. You
may think that no one is watching. Think again." -Deborah Haydon
