With many people off work for the holiday weekend, this Friday is one of the best opportunities of the year to introduce someone new to the Topanga Farmers Market. Let's make it our biggest market of the summer!

Here are 3 easy ways you can pitch in:

1️⃣ Come to the market!
Support our incredible local farms, food makers, and artisans by shopping small and stocking up for the holiday weekend.

2️⃣ Invite a friend.
Know someone who always says, "I wish I could make it, but I work Fridays"? This is their chance! Send them a quick text and let them know we're OPEN this Friday, July 3.

3️⃣ Help spread the word.
Like, comment on, or share one of our latest Instagram posts. Every interaction helps more people discover the market, and every new visitor makes a real difference for our vendors.

Stock Up for Your July 4th Weekend

Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, heading to the beach, or gathering with friends and family, you'll find everything you need at the market:

• Peak-season organic fruits and vegetables from our premier local farms - stone fruit for a cobbler from Burkhart Organics or Etheridge Farms, salad greens from Smith Farms, berries and herbs from AZ Ranch and sprouts from Alchemy Orchards

INSIDE SCOOP: We have 5 really fun pop-up vendors coming this Friday!

2. Venice Organics - single origin bean to bar chocolate made with only 3 ingredients

3. Holy Cacao - ceremonial grade cacao and an amazing iced matcha cacao coconut milk drink that sells out every time

4. Innamorata Gelato - Italian gelato with LA flare - their affogatos are to die for

5. Flying Disc Ranch with multiple varieties of dates - once you try these, you’ll never buy dates at the grocery store again

Celebrating all the dads at the market this Friday! - Photo Credit: Nicola Buck @lapicnic

This Friday, many have the day off in observance of Juneteenth, making it the perfect opportunity to spend a Friday morning at the market. Whether you’re stocking up on the freshest local produce, gathering ingredients for a Father’s Day barbecue, or simply enjoying a beautiful morning in the canyon, we’d love to see you.

In honor of Juneteenth, we’re also taking time to celebrate and support the Black-owned small businesses that help make our market so special. We hope you’ll stop by and show them some extra love this week:

• Our Sweet Lives – Decadent cookies and dessert bars from award-winning baker Ladae


• Vision Sprouts – California-made sprouted nuts, seeds, and nut butter sauces

• Branch Patty – Authentic Jamaican-style patties made by hand in small batches

And with Father’s Day just around the corner, the market is filled with thoughtful gifts and delicious treats for the father figures in your life and we’re offering a few special Father’s Day services and activities:

🎨 Create a handmade watercolor card with Space Art + Supply ($10)


🔪 Sharpen Dad’s favorite kitchen knives or garden tools with The Sharper Chef

Friday mornings at the market are always special, but this week feels like the perfect way to kick off a long weekend, celebrate community, support local businesses, and find something meaningful for Father’s Day.

Oh, and did we mention it’s going to be a perfect 71 degrees?

We’ll see you Friday from 9am–1pm at the Topanga Community Center.

Celebrating Juneteenth

Juneteenth is a time to reflect on freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity. It's also an opportunity to intentionally support Black-owned businesses—not just today, but throughout the year.

We invite you to join us in celebrating and supporting these wonderful members of our market family. Thank you for sharing your gifts, your stories, and your work with our community.

School’s out, summer is (almost) here, and making it through another school year deserves a proper celebration. Pack up the crew and head to the Topanga Farmers Market. Read on for our foolproof guide to keeping the whole family entertained this Friday.

Step 1: Arrive Before Someone Says “I’m Bored”

☕ Coffee for you, breakfast for everyone
Fuel up for a morning of market adventures.

👕 Browse the Clothing Swap Rack
Stop by the Info Booth and let the kids explore our Community Clothing Swap. Bring a few pieces from home and trade for some new-to-you treasures—for free!

Step 2: Keep Tiny Humans Happily Occupied

🎨 Face Painting with Genevieve from Space Art & Supply
$10 per child | 9:00–11:00 AM
Because summer break deserves a little magic, and what better way to start than becoming a butterfly, dragon, unicorn, or another fantastical creation?

🌎 Earthling Kids Club Activity Station - Hosted by Bonnie Wright of Hello Earthling
FREE | 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
Need a few uninterrupted moments to sip your coffee? Hello Earthling has got you covered. Kids ages 3–6 can drop in for hands-on nature-inspired activities, creative exploration, and all kinds of living-world discoveries. Stay for five minutes or settle in for a longer adventure.

Step 3: Secure Seasonal Treats

🍋 Frozen Lemonade from Barlingual
Summer memories are made of simple things: sunshine, market strolls, and a frozen lemonade shared with the kids.

🍉🌽 Summer Farm Pop-Up with County Line Produce
The stars of the season have arrived: organic watermelon and sweet corn. Future-you will be very grateful when weekend snack requests begin as soon as you get home.

Step 4: Burn Off Some Energy

🎵 Weekly Toddler Music Class with Brafo
11:00 AM under the Oak Tree
A little music, a little movement, and a lot of joyful wiggling. Perfect for toddlers, older siblings, and anyone with energy and enthusiasm to spare.

🛝 Impromptu Playground Meetup
Before heading home, make one final stop at the playground. Chances are, half your kids' classmates are there. Share snacks, catch up with friends, and let the kids squeeze every last bit of fun out of the morning.

And this market isn’t just for the kids — we still have our usual amazing lineup: your favorite local farms, food vendors, bakers, and artisan makers both outdoors and inside the Community House.

We can't wait to celebrate the first Friday of summer break with you! ☀️🌻🍉

See you Friday,

The Topanga Farmers Market Team

Dear Market Friends and Neighbors,

After a long season of fire recovery, road closures, and disruption, it has been incredibly exciting to see the market recently feeling extra vibrant, joyful, and full of life. Have you felt it?! We are finally getting to experience a true spring at the market—lush produce, bustling aisles, friendly faces, and that special energy that happens when people come together in person.

We’re excited to share that this Friday, May 1st we’ll be offering some sustainability services at the market, making it even easier to care for the things you own, reduce waste, and live a little lighter on the planet. Come drop off your Electronics Recycling (free!), get your knives sharpened with Sharper Chef, and bring clothing to mend or alter with Vicki from Topanga Homespun. We are also excited to be hosting a major leader in sustainable fashion and home goods, Suay Sew Shop with Gya Organics for the next 6 Fridays in our Artisan Market.

If you missed our recent article in the Topanga New Times about the importance of farmers markets and the growing Re-villaging movement, be sure to check it out here - we’d love to hear your thoughts! We’re proud to be part of creating a place where neighbors reconnect, local farms thrive, and community life grows stronger week by week.

A very special announcement! Our 2026 Sponsorship Drive has been finalized and we’re debuting our Sponsorship Banner at the market this Friday! Thanks to our amazing lineup of sponsors, we raised over $40K to cover our market operating costs and our Neighbors in Need Produce delivery program for 2026. Scroll down to get a first glimpse of our Heirloom and Harvest level sponsors.

Also, don’t miss a really fun Community Event happening at Corazon this Sunday - a Father Daughter Dance to raise money for LATaco and immigrant families! The whole family is invited! Hope to see you there!

And of course, we can’t wait to see you Friday.

💛 Peace, Love, and Produce 🥕✨

“Re-Villaging: Why the Farmers Market Matters More Than Ever” - Topanga New Times

IIn the April 17 issue of the Topanga New Times, we wrote about something deeply meaningful to us and central to the spirit of our market: the Re-villaging movement, and why spaces like the Topanga Farmers Market matter more than ever.

Re-villaging is about rebuilding the everyday connections, mutual support, and sense of belonging that modern life often lacks—the very feeling we experience each Friday morning when our community gathers together. Take a read below and let us know what you think.

Dear Market Friends and Neighbors,

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate our 2 Year Anniversary with us on Friday. It meant so much to gather with our community and celebrate this special milestone together.

We’re sending a rare Sunday edition of our newsletter because we urgently need your help.

Our Children’s Hospital Blood Drive is scheduled for this Friday, March 20th at the market, but we currently don’t have enough donors signed up to keep the drive on the schedule. If 10 more people don’t sign up by tomorrow (Monday), the hospital will have to cancel.

Children’s Hospital is experiencing a serious blood shortage right now, and every pint of blood literally helps save the life of a baby or child receiving care there.

If you are able to donate, please consider signing up. It’s a simple act that has an enormous impact.

Thank you for helping us show up for our community in such a meaningful way.

💛 Peace, Love, and Produce 🥕✨
Kate, Freddi & the Topanga Farmers Market Team

Lisset Carranza with beautiful flowers her family has grown from McGrath Family Farms in Camarillo

This Valentine’s Friday at the market, we’re celebrating love in all its forms.

❤️ Love for food grown by small family farms
❤️ Love for handcrafted goods made with care
❤️ Love for vintage treasures with stories to tell
❤️ Love for local makers and small businesses
❤️ Love for neighbor hugs, lifelong friendships, and friends who feel like family
❤️ And love for this special canyon community we share

Farmers markets have always been places where connection happens naturally, and this Friday we’re leaning into that spirit.

We’re inviting community members to participate in a lighthearted connection activity: make a suggested donation of $5 and receive a bracelet to wear while you shop.
• Red = open to romantic connection
• Pink = open to friendship

Maybe you’ll meet someone new. Maybe you’ll reconnect with an old friend. Either way, you’ll find good food, warm community, and a beautiful view. Stop by the Info Booth to get your connection bracelet and learn more.

At 11:00 AM, we’ll host an optional, low-pressure Market Mingle — a Topanga-style take on speed meeting (think meet-cutes, not speed dating), with short, guided conversations for anyone who’d like to participate. It’s not just for singles, and all ages, orientations, and identities are welcome. Join for one conversation or several — or simply wear your bracelet and enjoy the morning.

And of course, we’ve got you covered for Valentine’s gifting — flowers, strawberries, chocolates, delicious prepared foods, and so much more. Your Valentine will love you even more for supporting small and local.

🥫🥦🥕🫜 Our Food Drive for NELA Food Distribution is also ongoing. Keep reading to see how you can support families in need by bringing donated items to the market this Friday and viewing the list of most-needed foods. 🍎🍞🥒🍠🥫

Dear Farmers Market Community:

We’re aware of the nationwide call for a strike this Friday and the intention to avoid supporting large corporations. We respect this moment deeply.

The Topanga Farmers Market will be open this Friday, January 30th in support of our 45+ small, family-owned farms and artisan food makers, many of whom rely on the market as a vital source of income, and in solidarity with the immigrant communities who are essential to our food system.

If you’re choosing not to shop big, we invite you to shop small and local instead — and put your dollars where they truly make a difference. Bring cash if you can — it keeps money in the hands of small business owners, not large corporations.

Happy New Year, Topanga 💚

We’re excited to welcome you back this Friday, January 9th, for the first Topanga Farmers Market of 2026! After a rainy winter break, it feels especially good to gather again—the market is OPEN, the community is back, and the forecast is on our side (hello, 62 degrees and partly cloudy!).

If supporting local, eating healthier and cleaner, and connecting more deeply with community are on your list of intentions for the new year, prioritizing the market in 2026 is a wonderful place to start. If the holidays left you craving a little balance, join us for fresh air, friendly faces, and nourishing winter produce from our farmers and makers—full of color, flavor, and goodness.

We have lots of exciting news to share:

• We will be handing out $10 market vouchers to the first 100 customers this Friday, generously sponsored by World Central Kitchen

• Canyon Bakery is Returning to the Market this Friday, Jan 9th!

• We only have $10,000 left to raise in order to meet our 2026 Fundraising Goal! We’ve raised $35,000 and have extended our fundraising deadline to Jan 31st.

• Our children’s music program with Brafo will now be offered EVERY FRIDAY in 2026!

Read on for more info on all of these exciting developments! We can’t wait to see you this Friday. Come for the food, stay for the community, and start the year feeling grounded, nourished, and connected.

Peace, love, and produce 🥕✨
Kate, Freddi and the Topanga Farmers Market Team

$10 Vouchers to the First 100 Customers, THIS FRIDAY!

In honor of the one-year anniversary of the Palisades Fire and in celebration of our community’s resilience, we will be handing out $10 market vouchers to the first 100 customers this Friday, generously sponsored by World Central Kitchen. Vouchers may be picked up at the Info Booth and can be used with any food vendor at the market (non-food artisan vendors excluded).

We are deeply grateful to World Central Kitchen for once again supporting our community in a way that uplifts our customers, vendors, and the market as a whole. Come early, grab a voucher, and treat yourself as we kick off the new year with gratitude and togetherness.

Welcome back, Canyon Bakery!

After a long hiatus, we’re thrilled to welcome Canyon Bakery back to the Topanga Farmers Market! A beloved local favorite, Canyon Bakery is known for its naturally leavened, freshly milled whole-grain breads, rustic pastries, and seasonal baked goods made with care and locally sourced ingredients. From hearty artisan loaves to crave-worthy sweet and savory treats, their return is a delicious homecoming you won’t want to miss—come early, they sell out fast! 🥖✨

We’re Getting So Close to Our Fundraising Goal!

As we look ahead to 2026, we want to share a hopeful update with our community. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and supporters, we’ve raised $35,000 toward our fundraising goal, allowing us to preserve the community programs that make this market so special and carry the market well into the year ahead.

At this moment, we’re working to close a $10,000 funding gap. Filling this final stretch will allow us to continue everything the market provides—from our beloved children’s music program, to weekly produce boxes for seniors and neighbors in need, to welcoming nonprofit organizations at the market free of charge, and to covering the essential operating costs that keep this vibrant weekly gathering alive in our canyon.

If the market brings value to your life, we hope you’ll consider making a donation of any size. With just a bit more collective support, we can cross the finish line together and ensure this extraordinary community resource continues to thrive in 2026.

There are several ways to contribute:

1. Become an official Sponsor of the Topanga Farmers Market
   We’ll proudly promote your business to our growing, engaged community (email hello@topangafarmersmarket.com to get started)

2. Send a Donation via check, Zelle, or PayPal

Brafo’s Music Class will be EVERY FRIDAY in 2026!

We’re also excited to kick off the year with something special for our youngest market-goers: our children’s music program with Brafo is now offered weekly - EVERY FRIDAY! More music, more joy, and more opportunities for families to gather at the market. To help support this expanded program, we’re asking for a $15 suggested donation per family, per class. Here’s our Venmo to make it easier to donate every week.

We’ll be closed this Friday, January 2nd. After the energy and joy of our December holiday markets, we’re taking a short pause to rest, reflect, and recharge. This in-between moment feels both restorative and necessary—a chance to slow down after a full year of growth, connection, and community building. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the market on Friday, January 9th.

As we look back on the past year, we’re filled with immense gratitude 🙏. What began as a dream to revive a weekly gathering has blossomed into a vibrant community hub—one where neighbors connect, farmers share their bounty, and local makers bring their craft and creativity to the canyon.

Here’s a look at our favorite market stats from 2026:
• 44 incredible Friday markets 📅
• 168 unique farmers, food producers, artisans, and makers 🧺
• 300–500 visitors on average each week 👥
• 3 markets closed or canceled due to the Palisades Fire 🔥
• 1,000+ boxes of fresh produce served to our canyon seniors and neighbors in need 🥬
• 2 years (in March!) serving the Topanga community 🎉
• 8,000+ new Instagram followers (✨ 16,000 total!) 📸
• 2,500 new newsletter subscribers (4,200 total) 💌
• $973,000+ spent on organic, nutrient-dense produce supporting small, family-owned farms and businesses 💚
• $23,000+ contributed by our generous sponsors 🌟
• 456 “service” dogs visited the market 🐾 (credentials unclear, cuteness undeniable)
• 1,000,000+ hours Kate and Freddi have spent discussing weather forecasts ☁️
• 2 tired, yet deeply grateful founders ❤️

As we contemplate the new year, we’re inspired by what’s possible. Our goals for 2026 center around increasing community outreach programs — especially our Neighbor in Need Produce Box program 📦. In 2025, this program was generously funded by World Central Kitchen 🌍, but that funding ended this December.

To continue, we must raise $500 per week to provide nutritious, organic produce delivered directly to our neighbors’ doors by local volunteers 🚗💚. We’re currently 53% of the way to our sponsorship goal and counting 📊!

To donate, email us at hello@topangafarmersmarket.com or see the different ways to contribute below.

Thank you, Topanga 💛 — for showing up, supporting local food and craft, and making this year truly unforgettable. As we step into the new year, we do so with hearts full of gratitude and a clear vision for what’s next 🌈.

Peace, love, and produce 🥕✨

🚨BREAKING NEWS! SoCal Edison has graciously offered to pause their roadwork on Topanga Canyon Blvd this coming Friday to help benefit local businesses during the holiday shopping season and allow for a better flow of traffic through the canyon. CalTrans will still be continuing their important work on the s-curves between Grandview and PCH, but the pause in construction within the center of the canyon is going to help immensely — allowing you to come and shop the market and the rest of our amazing Topanga businesses without sitting in traffic!

The SoCalEdison work will be paused starting Dec 19 thru Dec 28. Their crews will return on December 29 and 30. Then they will be off until Jan 5, 2026.

PLEASE COME OUT AND SUPPORT the last Farmers Market of the year! AND enjoy the construction free roads!

✨ Celebrate the Season at Our Winter Holiday Artisan Markets! ✨

What a season it’s been! Our December markets have exceeded all expectations, and we’re closing out the year with one FINAL Holiday Artisan Market on Friday, December 19. It’s the last market of the year and a perfect moment to celebrate our makers, our community, and the joy of shopping local.

🎁 Our Last Winter Holiday Artisan Market - December 19th
Friday • 9 AM–1 PM

Step into a cozy, seasonal marketplace featuring:
🌱 Organic produce & specialty foods
☕ Festive drinks to sip while you shop
🎶 Live music to set the holiday mood
🛍️ Handmade goods & vintage treasures
✨ Over 25 different artisans
🚗 Free parking

Grab a friend, shop small, and enjoy a festive day filled with local talent and holiday cheer. We’re excited to close out the season together and hope to see you there!

As we move through December, we want to share a transparent update about where we are and what we’re working toward as we close out the year. Our focus remains on two essential priorities:

1. Fund our ‘Produce Box for Neighbors in Need’ Program through 2026

2. Covering basic operating costs so we can continue running the market

This season has been especially tough for our community. In the aftermath of the fires and during an already demanding time of year, fundraising has been slower and more difficult than usual. We deeply understand how much has been asked of everyone lately, and it hasn’t been easy to ask again. Still, sustaining this work simply isn’t possible without community support.

Thanks to the generosity we’ve received so far, we’re now over halfway toward our $45,000 goal. Reaching it will ensure that neighbors who depend on our produce boxes continue to receive fresh, healthy food—and that our Friday market remains a place of connection, nourishment, and support.

There are several ways to contribute:

1. Donate to our GoFundMe.

2. Become an official Sponsor of the Topanga Farmers Market
   We’ll proudly promote your business to our growing, engaged community (email hello@topangafarmersmarket.com to get started)

3. Send a Donation via check, Zelle, or PayPal

Reservoir: Come Get a Free Sample of Non-Toxic Laundry Soap THIS FRIDAY!

Our market was built on community — families, neighbors, and small businesses growing together. That’s why we’re beyond excited to welcome the founders of Reservoir this Friday, December 19th. They’ll be sharing FREE 4 oz samples (8 washes!) of their laundry soap for the first time ever! Come discover a new brand rooted in home and made for everyday life.

Even more exciting… Their laundry soap will be available soon for refill here in the canyon at The Well Refill shop in Pine Tree Circle in the New Year.

Dear Market friends,

We are reaching out with full hearts and a humble ask. As many of you know, our little canyon community has weathered so much this past year, and through it all, you’ve continued to show up for one another in the most beautiful ways. We’re deeply grateful for that.

Right now, we’re working hard to raise the funds we need for two things that matter enormously to our community:

1. Keeping our ‘Produce Box for Neighbors in Need’ Program going through 2026

2. Covering basic operating costs so we can continue running the market

Our Giving Tuesday campaign didn’t take off the way we hoped — completely understandable, with so many worthy causes asking for support this time of year — but it did leave us feeling a bit overwhelmed. And our Annual Sponsorship Drive has been especially challenging in the wake of the fires. After everything our canyon has been through, asking our community for more feels hard… but the truth is, we can’t sustain this work without help.

If you’re in a position to support, we would be so grateful. We’re currently about one-third of the way to our $45K goal, which will allow us to continue delivering free, fresh produce to neighbors who truly rely on it and to keep our beloved Friday market thriving.

There are several ways to contribute:

1. Donate to our GoFundMe:
   https://gofund.me/602528c94

2. Become an official Sponsor of the Topanga Farmers Market
   We’ll proudly promote your business to our growing, engaged community (email hello@topangafarmersmarket.com to get started)

3. Send a check, Zelle, or PayPal
   (Options 2 & 3 are tax-deductible — happy to provide our tax ID upon request.)

Thank you for considering this — and for all the countless ways you already nurture and uplift this community. ❤️ 🌱 Your generosity, your presence, and your spirit are what make this place feel like home.

And if you have ideas for fundraising, or experience in this area, we would love any guidance or support you’re willing to share.

With gratitude and warmth,
Kate, Freddi & The Topanga Farmers Market Team

Hi Market friends,

Just a quick Market Update: We will be closed THIS FRIDAY, November 28th.

We know many of you look forward to your Friday market routine, and we’ll miss seeing all of your smiling faces this week, but pulling off a market the day after Thanksgiving would mean our vendors spending the holiday picking and prepping instead of enjoying time with their loved ones.

We know you’ll miss us (it’s mutual), but consider this your official permission to skip the post-holiday frenzy, sleep in a little, and Opt Outside. Hit your favorite trail, reconnect with the canyon, and let nature—not Black Friday—set the tone.

And in the spirit of choosing community over consumption, we invite you to support our GoFundMe campaign this Black Friday. Your donation will help us continue delivering fresh Farmers Market produce every week to 26 neighbors in need and housebound seniors. Your generosity is the only way we can keep this program alive.

Your market morning will return next week, Friday, December 5th. Save your shopping for our (first of three!) Holiday Markets.

With gratitude and warmth,
Kate, Freddi & The Topanga Farmers Market Team

It might be a bit rainy tomorrow morning at the market—but we’re totally open and fully stocked for all your pre-Thanksgiving shopping needs! Don’t let a little drizzle keep you from your favorite Friday tradition. Throw on your rain boots and your most canyon-chic rain attire, come hug your neighbors, and celebrate this special gathering we’re lucky to have atop the Santa Monica Mountains. Many of our vendors rely on the income they earn here, so let’s show them that the Topanga community shows up rain or shine.

🍂 Read on for your master Thanksgiving Shopping List, lovingly compiled by Kate & Freddi with our hardworking farmers and food makers.

And don’t forget—our Community FOOD SHARE launches THIS FRIDAY! Pick up a few extra groceries this week or gather unexpired items from your pantry, and bring them to the market to share with neighbors.

Thanksgiving Shopping List - Nov 21st at the Market

Here’s your master Thanksgiving list lovingly compiled by Kate & Freddi with our hardworking farmers and food makers.

Our Friday, Nov 21st market (TOMORROW) is 6 days before Thanksgiving, but all of these items are either shelf-stable or will still be fresher than the crap you’d find at a grocery store the day before (did we just say crap?!?).

The market has everything from farm-fresh produce to breads, wines, and special ingredients to make this your best Thanksgiving meal of all time 🧡🦃✨

We hope everyone had a cozy, rainy weekend. We were sad not to see your smiling faces (and your best rainwear fashion!) on Friday, but we know we made the right call keeping our vendors and customers off the wet, windy mountain roads.

Weather closures are especially hard on our dedicated farmers and food makers—each missed market or low-turnout day means a significant loss of income for the small businesses who rely on your support.

But the good news? You can help the Topanga Farmers Market thrive this week, even from the comfort of your cozy home.

5 Ways to Support the Market (without leaving the house):

1. 🥕 Sponsor a Senior Produce Box 

2. 🎁 Order Farmers Market Gift Baskets for everyone on your list! (2025 baskets debuting today with online ordering! Impressed?!)

3. 🌻 Become a Market Sponsor

4. 📸 Share our Holiday Artisan Market Post (or any post) on Instagram

5. ⭐ Leave us a Review on Google, Yelp or Trip Advisor

OH AND - Our Community FOOD SHARE is launching THIS FRIDAY! Buy some extra groceries this week when you are out and about or find some unexpired items in your pantry, and bring them to the market on Friday to share with neighbors.

Read on for more details on all the ways you can help…

1. Sponsor a Produce Box for a Neighbor in Need!

After last year’s fires, World Central Kitchen generously partnered with us to provide fresh, organic produce boxes to seniors in the canyon who are housebound or neighbors experiencing financial hardship.

Now, as we approach the one-year anniversary of the fires, that funding will conclude at the end of December 2025. To continue supporting our neighbors in need - many of whom now rely on these deliveries - we need to raise $500 per week to keep the program going.

For just $20 per week, you can provide a canyon senior or neighbor in need with a box of nutritious, organic produce delivered right to their doorstep by our incredible local volunteers.
That’s $480 for 6 months or $960 for a full year—a tangible way to make a direct and lasting impact in someone’s life.

Sponsors will be recognized:

• 📰 In our e-newsletter

• 🌐 On our website and social media (optional)

This is the perfect opportunity for those who want to make a personal, lasting difference in our community.

It’s truly a win-win for Topanga: each box not only nourishes someone who can’t access their own food each week, but the produce is purchased directly from our farmers, helping keep them invested in coming to our beautiful but out-of-the-way canyon market each Friday.

Email us to support: hello@topangafarmersmarket.com

2. 🎁 Order Farmers Market Gift Baskets for the Holidays!

If you’re like us and have a long list of amazing people to thank and shower with thoughtful gifts this season, we’ve got you covered! 🌿

For your kids’ teachers, your dog walker, your Pilates instructor, the family you carpool with, your clients who kept your business afloat, the cousin who’s hosting you for holiday dinner, your neighbor who waters your plants while you’re away — or even that tricky person who has everything (yes, including your health-obsessed sister-in-law!) — our Farmers Market Gift Baskets make the perfect heartfelt gift.

Each basket is thoughtfully curated and filled with local, artisanal, and seasonal favorites from our market community. Oh, and the best part? 💚 These gift baskets directly support our incredible food vendors — small-batch makers who handcraft their products and source only the best ingredients. These are the kinds of items you won’t find even at the fanciest grocery stores.

Gift a curated taste of the canyon — lovingly made by our local farmers and artisans.

✨ Ordering is easy — click here and choose the perfect basket for everyone on your list! ✨ We can deliver baskets locally in the canyon, ship boxed versions anywhere in the country, or create fully custom baskets — just email hello@topangafarmersmarket.com. Click here for a full overview of all the baskets on Instagram and click the button below to ORDER ONLINE!

3. Become a Market Sponsor!

In just 20 months, the Topanga Farmers Market has become a trusted gathering place for the community. Despite fires, road closures, and construction, we’ve been fortunate to continue welcoming hundreds of customers each week and supporting more than 45 local farms and small businesses.

Looking ahead, we aim to expand with more children’s programs, nonprofit booths, special events, and workshops. We also need ongoing support for weekly operating costs. Your sponsorship could sustain the market today while helping us grow into a lasting community institution—one that strengthens our local food system, supports small businesses, and ensures that Topanga continues to thrive. PLUS we offer a great opportunity to advertise your business!

4. Share our Holiday Artisan Market Post on Instagram

Instagram post

The more our community shares this post, the stronger our December markets will be — and the more our farmers and food makers will be supported through the winter season. With market closures on three upcoming Fridays for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, and now an additional closure due to the storm, our vendors are facing significant loss of income.

By helping us spread the word — sharing the post on your stories or sending it directly to friends who might enjoy coming to shop with you — you’re helping our local farmers and small food businesses make up for those lost weeks, support their families, and keep their work thriving through the colder months.

5. ⭐ Leave us a Review

Reviews are one of the simplest but most powerful ways to keep our market thriving. 🌱 Every kind word helps new shoppers discover us, shows our farmers and artisans that their work matters, and reminds the wider community that local food and handmade goods are worth showing up for. Your review isn’t just feedback—it’s fuel for the future of the market. You can share your thoughts on Google, Yelp or Trip Advisor.

🌧️ Market Update: This Friday’s Market Canceled Due to Rain

While the Topanga Farmers Market is typically a rain-or-shine event, this Friday’s forecast is calling for heavier-than-normal rainfall and potentially unsafe mountain road conditions. The safety of our vendors and customers always comes first, so we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this Friday’s market. We hope to be open during future rainy days, but this storm appears to be a big one. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to support our local farmers, makers, and small businesses.

Stay safe, stay cozy, and we’ll see you back at the market NEXT Friday, 11/21!

💚 Love, The Topanga Farmers Market Team

P.S. - Look out for an email in your inbox tomorrow on ways you can support the market this holiday season and while we are closed!
