Canyon Market News

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Thank you for your continued support of the Topanga Farmers Market! We would not have been able to pull this off without you cheering us on and showing your beautiful faces at the market on Fridays. Your ongoing encouragement is why we devote endless hours to keeping this canyon asset alive.

Now that our market is off to an amazing start, we must work to strengthen and grow what we have created. The market is currently run with minimal costs, and cannot be sustained this way long-term. With your help, our market can blossom into a community resource that will thrive for generations. Other Farmers Markets are traditionally funded by city governments and grants - we are a different non-profit model and need annual sponsors to succeed.

We have big ideas for the future. We would like to enhance the market with local entertainment, children’s programs, nonprofit booths, and special events and workshops. We also need ongoing support for our regular operating costs.

Business owners: sponsoring the market is a strategic opportunity to showcase your business in our canyon community. We have a strong in-person and virtual presence and offer extensive visibility and engagement with a diverse audience across Southern California.

See below (and linked here) for our sponsorship appeal, which outlines the details of our sponsorship program for individuals and businesses and the benefits of partnering with us as a founding member of our market sponsors.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the Topanga Farmers Market! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us ([email protected]) if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.

In solidarity,
