Questionnaire for Laughing Buddha Nursery Employment

Thank you for your interest in working at Laughing Buddha.

Laughing Buddha Nursery’s 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 focuses on helping customers grow plants naturally and organically, particularly vegetables and herbs, and provides local food grown at our own farm and 40+ other farms and small local value-added producers in the region that we source from in our local grocery model.

In 2015, we started a regenerative, pasture-based farm (Local Cooling Farms) south of Bogalusa, where we raise chickens, pigs, goats and cattle. At LBN, we sell our eggs and frozen meat and we operate several biweekly neighborhood farm delivery hubs, where customers pre-order meat, eggs, produce, ferments, bread, honey, herbs, pasta, rice, coffee and more to pick up at a central neighborhood location. The farm is also where we have a composting operation to make a variety of garden soils, fertilizers and nutrients, including vermicompost.

We would love to hear more about you and ask that you answer the questions below to be considered.

Please email us at kate@laughingbuddhanursery.com with your resume and three professional references after completing this form.

Thank you,
Kate & Grant Estrade

Shifts needed will be Tuesday close (11-6), Wednesday open (9-4), Thursday open (9-4) or close (11-6), Friday close (11-6) and Saturday open (9-4) or close (11-6).
