Laughing Buddha Nursery

Laughing Buddha Nursery Laughing Buddha Nursery is a gardening shop turned farmer-owned local grocery!

👩🏼‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾Farmer-Owned Local Grocery🥓🥚🌶️🥒

Food from our own farm and 40+ other regional producers

Online ordering or in person shopping
Offsite pickups and home deliveries too! Our mission is to 1) help people eat well by sourcing food from local, sustainable farms and 2) supply people with the knowledge and tools to be successful in their gardening pursuits. LBN began in 2003, carrying organic ga

rdening supplies, eventually adding a line of soil and compost products, hydroponics supplies and even home brew supplies. Since starting our regenerative, pasture-based farm -- Local Cooling Farms -- in 2015, our focus has shifted to offering our own farm products (grass-fed beef and goat meat and pasture-raised eggs and pork) alongside other local foods grown or produced in our region: pasture-raised dairy and chicken, Gulf seafood, organically grown produce, value-added products like ferments and pickles, jams and jellies, rice, pasta, bread, coffee, sauces and more. You can shop in our store, pre-order online and pick up in store or from one of our neighborhood delivery hubs around New Orleans and the Northshore. We still produce high quality soil and compost blends and offer them alongside organic seeds, fertilizers and gardening amendments. Overall we want to help you eat and grow the best food that you can in our region!

Tuesday night market tour!

We had a few changes to our incoming deliveries this week, mainly arugula, mustard greens, cucumbers and zephyr squash today instead of Thursday since it went so fast last Thursday!

And then we’ll get more, along with lettuce mix and spring mix, plus baby kale and tat soi on Friday instead of Thursday.

We also stocked up on more microgreens than ever late last week to roll into this week for you!

Feliciana’s Best Dairy has gone fast today, but more Southern Maids goat dairy and Berry Hill yogurts and cheeses are coming tomorrow, too.

There’s a good amount of large size hummus flavors for a change and perfect crostini to go with them!

We’re open normal hours the rest of the week (10-6, Wednesday-Saturday) and we’ve got hubs and home deliveries in Mandeville and Covington tomorrow, Lakeview, Mid-City and Gentilly on Thursday and Irish Channel on Friday (with home deliveries in a big span of neighborhoods nearby afterwards).

We’ve got some absolutely lovely local food for the weekend for you!

I think we broke our own record yesterday of amount of arugula sold in one day yesterday, so unfortunately that’s already out, but there’s still beautiful romaine lettuce heads, plus baby tat soi and braising mix for salads and lots more microgreens are coming this afternoon.

We also got in more muscadine and scuppernong grapes (thank you Barcelo Gardens for going to the vineyard in Mississippi to pick yesterday! 🙏🍇).

Plus there’s lots of Greek yogurt and cheeses from Berry Hill Farm, okra and various peppers, cucumbers, coffee, glazed pecans, more fresh bread and buns coming this morning from Bellegarde Bakery, honey, oils and vinegars, seasonings, tinctures, herbal tea, meats and seafood and more!

We’re headed out to do a bunch of deliveries in our usual Friday route (Downtown through Uptown, Old Jefferson and Old Metairie), but there’s still time to add you to the route (deadline is noon to get those orders in!).

Bringing the salad greens even in August! 💪💪

Our friend Jason from Homegrown in Folsom grows greens through the summer — some under shade cloth in high tunnels and some varieties he has just learned tolerate the heat better than others.

Thursday night Josey's Goods restocking party (of one!). 🎉🌶️🥒🍑🍇🍓😂

Grant had some things to do late on the farm, so I decided to get down with my rearranging and organizing vibes with the store to myself last night.

We’ve been working with the Josey’s for 7 or 8 years now (who can keep track??) and love their products and y’all do, too.

We’re now restocked on:
🍓 Strawberry jam
🍇 Muscadine jelly
🍑 Habereno Peach Pepper Jelly (also goes by Fuzzy Hab, gotta love that 😂)
🌰 Pecan Pepper Jelly
🥒 Tons of Pickles! (Regular or Spicy Bread & Butter Dill Spears or Sliced/Chips)
🥕 Other Pickled Veg like Carrots, Beets, Okra and Onions
🌶️ Candied Jalapeños!
🧄 “Dill With It” Hot Sauce

And while we weren’t completely out, we also got more jam and jelly favorites like blueberry ginger, blackberry and blackberry & blueberry jams.

Get your orders in online or come see us in the shop this weekend! You know some favorites are going to go fast!
