Hey market friends,

THIS FRIDAY at a Glance:

🥒 Pickle Workshop 10:30 - 12 PM - RSVP via email [email protected]

Now Launching our 2026 Sponsorship Drive!

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.

We’ve become a destination for fresh food, sustainability, and community:

• Vendors now seek us out for our community spirit, loyal customers, and incredible views.

• Parking is now free for all, making the market more accessible.

• Our Fridays now include live music, kids’ music classes, workshops, dance and fitness classes, knife sharpening, electronic recycling, mending services, and a community clothing swap.

• During the Palisades Fire, we partnered with plastic to provide produce to fire-impacted residents and continue serving our canyon’s housebound seniors today.

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 sustains 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.

THIS FRIDAY - Donate Non-Perishable Goods to the Topanga Women’s Circle

Topanga Women’s Circle (TWC) will be at the Market collecting donations to help stock kitchens in the transitional apartments they prepare for families moving out of homelessness.

Stop by their booth to learn more, drop off much-needed non-perishable food items, or contribute to their efforts in giving local families a fresh start. Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. 💛

TWC is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to helping homeless families transition into stable housing. By providing essential household items, they help ensure each family is welcomed into a clean, comfortable, and dignified home as they begin a new chapter.

Join the Marketing Committee!
