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.

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 [email protected]. 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

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.
