Meet The Team

  • Heather Babineau-Z, owner of Whole and Nourished

    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.

    Sometimes a recipe comes along that is worth doubling because lunctime requires a reheat and repeat button. This beautiful soup from Heather Babineau-Z of Whole and Nourished is one of those recipes. It's rich in flavor, satisfying enough to curb every afternoon slump, and utterly craveable. In fact it's even better the next day.

    "Whole & Nourished makes their prepared meals and granola with real attention to food allergies and sensitivities. 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."
