About Us
Laughing Buddha Local Food Market and Nursery
With a bank of freezers and refrigerators, we stock all of our farm products – eggs, pork, beef and goat, when in season, – at Laughing Buddha daily. We quickly learned that if we could buy from neighboring farms and aggregate more local food to go along with our products, we could become more of a one-stop shop for local groceries. So today, in addition to our farm products, we receive weekly deliveries of local produce, dairy, poultry, fermented items like krauts, pickles and kombucha, raw honey, jams, jellies, pickles and preserves, fresh pasta, rice, honey and more from upwards of 20 other regional farms (primarily Louisiana and Mississippi, with some Alabama and Texas, too) and producers.
Through our neighborhood delivery hub model, you can place an order and pick up at one of eight hub locations throughout the New Orleans area. We also offer pick up at our store in Metairie.
