Grant Estrade owns and operates Laughing Buddha Nursery and Local Cooling Farms with his wife Kate Estrade. The farm is located in Bogalusa, La and the shop is located in New Orleans, LA.
Laughing Buddha Nursery started as a gardening shop in 2003 but is now a "local food grocery store/farmers market" selling the pork, beef, goat, and eggs from Local Cooling Farms as well as products from a multitude of other area farms and producers.
Local Cooling Farms is a 60 acre regenerative livestock farm and compost facility. Our goal is to produce quality pork, beef, goat, eggs, and compost all while creating Wildlife Habitat and increasing biodiversity on our acreage.
The purpose of this YouTube channel is to deliver content on not only Regenerative Farming and Composting, but on the necessary "soft skills" such as Personal Development, Goal Setting, Team Selection, and Team Leadership to grow your community.
Grant is available as a 1 on 1 coach, and speaker.

Recently we were in DC to lobby for farmers and livestock to protect humane standards and the US no farrow crate trajectory along with the @American-Meat-Producers. We want to keep state laws in place that look out for the welfare of the farmer and the livestock.
