Laughing Buddha Nursery

Friendly staff. Great local meats, produce and other goodies.

We love getting our food from Laughing Buddha Nursery. Their pasture-raised meats, eggs, and organic produce are incredible, and you can tell they truly care about regenerative farming and being good stewards of the land. The girls in the shop are always so friendly, know me by name, and somehow always have my order ready super fast when I arrive. It’s such a great local spot and we’re grateful to support a LOCAL farm that’s doing things the right.

I am so glad that Laughing Buddha Nursery exists and that I found them. I love knowing where my food comes from. We order as much of our groceries as possible from Laughing Buddha. It’s a wonderful company that gives back to the community. I hope Lloyd finds the nursery he’s looking for, sorry it wasn’t a match: (

The best “one stop shopping” spots for locally grown produce, ethically sourced protein, and by far the best eggs in the city. They also stock seeds, organic garden amendments, and their own superior blend of raised bed soil mix! Staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Delivery services are available for a small fee. Our go to store for years!

Imagine a whole farmers market packed into a single store. That's pretty much the vibe here. They have a curated selection of produce, meats, and prepared foods from local farmers, so you dont have to track down these very busy growers individually to get amazing fresh and local food. Not as much of a nursery as it once was (sorry Lloyd), now they're sooo much more than that! We need more businesses like this one here in metro New Orleans and all over this country.

I was so excited to find this source of local grocery items. Such a Metairie gem! Everything I’ve tried has been fresh and delicious and I love how much detail they provide on where each product comes from. I also appreciate the online store so I can place my order when I have time and pick it up when it’s convenient. The staff is so wonderful and helpful too!

This local company is a gem. They offer the most local groceries, from farm fresh eggs, to locally grown lettuce, all different meats, goat milk, fresh bread. They offer local delivery or pick up from their store. I have always been very pleased when shopping here they are always very nice and informative. Give them a try you won’t regret it!!!

Love these EGGS! They have a lot more than eggs, but eggs are the main reason that I go back every week. Local farm yard raised birds that live outside and they make delicious eggs of all sizes and colors. When I visit, they also offer a lot of locally grown, some organic, and some not, local vegetables, greens, etc. they have a freezer bank of pasture raised and finished meats: chicken, beef, pork to. Prices are not cheap, but we will pay extra for local and sustainably raised. It also just taste really good. If you are a chorizo fan, try Grant’s chorizo. They used to have duck eggs, too… I hope they get duck eggs back one day.
