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.

"As for meals, each one is unique, built around what is abundant that week, with favorites rotated in. The team often makes extra meals to freeze so customers can buy them later. Among the many frozen options are five varieties of gluten-free cookie dough you pull out of the freezer for a spontaneous treat."

"Once the leaves fall and the temperature drops, we turn to hearty and comforting creations to keep us warm and nourished. This satisfying combination of savory pork sausage, rich roasted squash, seasonal produce, and fragrant herbs is one of our favorites at Whole and Nourished."

"Whole and Nourished is now fully staffed and more centrally located in Belgrade, so it is easier to deliver to more areas, she said.Their kitchen was previously in Livingston."
