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.

Chef, Kitchen Manager

After a decade in hospitality, Jay embarked on a wellness journey that has taken him through health coaching, culinary school, yoga instruction certification, fine dining and farm-to-table cooking from New York City to Thailand and now Montana. He hikes, camps and enjoys music and movies with family and friends while continuing to learn about and explore health and wellness. We are so excited that Jay is bringing his passion and vast knowledge to Whole & Nourished.

Prep Cook, Packager and Farmers Market Attendant

A multi-disciplinary artist and musician, Tory brings her creative talents to painting, printmaking, illustration, and now the Whole & Nourished kitchen as well. After some time on the West Coast she is back in Montana making music, visual art and contributing her magic touch to our work here. Tory loves soaking up the simple beauty of our world through hiking, swimming in cold alpine lakes, camping, tending to her house plants, weird wizard shenanigans and non-stop dad jokes.

Dishwasher, Delivery Driver

Dustin, Whole & Nourished’s invaluable Dishwasher and Delivery Driver, is proud to be part of the environment here which he describes as a place with good people and integrity (which also describes him!). After a childhood spent between Billings and SE Idaho, he is happily at home in Bozeman with his dog Sherry Fraser. Dustin has a passion for learning, music, history and news of the world.

Office Assistant

Maggie joined Whole & Nourished to help with logistics, marketing and office support after a two decade career in education. She brings her love of learning, eating, and storytelling to the world of food. Following four years in Montana, the hardest part about now living in Arkansas is not being able to enjoy meals from Whole & Nourished! Maggie also creates handmade jewelry available through her website https://www.intermission-project.com.

Heather Babineau-Z of Whole and Nourished served a summer salad featuring greens, chickpeas, feta and vegetables grown or produced in the Gallatin Valley.

"People especially in this area are seeing the importance of supporting local foods and local farms and we help them to do that," Babineau-Z said.

"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."

"Since it's founding in 2017, Bozeman-based kitchen Whole and Nourished has delivered nutritious meals made from locally sourced ingredients across Gallatin Valley."

"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."

"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."
