HEATHER BABINEAU-Z
Owner
While working for over a decade in the ski industry, Heather pursued her many other interests as summer jobs and hobbies: holistic health, nutrition, organic farming and whole foods cooking to name a few. After seeing a need in her community for convenient, high-quality, full prepared meals, she started Whole and Nourished in May 2017.
Heather enjoys sharing what she is so passionate about: connecting with others through food while contributing to local agriculture and her community's overall health and wellness. -

It is the kind of thing you don’t think about until you are the one reading a label at 6 p.m. with a hungry kid. Their granola uses whole ingredients you can actually pronounce. The price is one you would happily pay again."
