Everything You Need to Know About Natchitoches Picnic Company
Our Story
Here’s the scene:
You’ve worked all day, chauffeured your kids from piano to baseball, and just remembered you have wine club—I mean, book club—tonight. You want to bring something that feels special, but real life doesn’t always leave room for slicing figs and drizzling honey.
We get it. That’s exactly why we started Natchitoches Picnic Co.
We're Laurie Berry and James "Jimmi" Gaspard, two people who believe hospitality doesn't have to be fussy to feel magical. We started during the pandemic with porch deliveries: charcuterie boards, chicken salad, and lemon squares carefully packed with love and flavor. What began as small gestures soon grew into a full-blown invitation to slow down, gather well, and savor the good stuff.
The NPC Experience
Our cozy spot is a place where:
Gelato is always a good idea
Meals to-go feel like a hug in a box
Rooms are designed for conversation, connection, and a little sparkle
And book club snacks? Covered.
Whether you're hosting a game night, grabbing lunch between errands, or planning a private corporate or family event, you don't need to do it all from scratch. We've already set the scene for you.
Come on in. We've saved you a seat.
When Life Get's Busy, We've Got You
As an upscale deli and market, we get you. While we know you can whip up your own batch of killer hummus or homemade chicken salad, sometimes you simply don't have the time or energy—but still want to show up with the best. That's where we come in.
