Kick off the long weekend with us at the Topanga Farmers Market! After last week’s heat, we’re looking forward to a much cooler Friday—at least 10 degrees cooler—and the perfect weather to stroll the market. It’s the ideal time to stock up for beach picnics, Labor Day festivities, and to round out the summer with the most incredible, ripe, nutrient-dense produce our farmers have to offer. Our farmers and small businesses work hard to bring you the very best each week, and they count on our community’s support no matter the temperature. Come celebrate the season with good food, good people, and good vibes this Friday!

Supporting Our Local Non-Profits: California Wildlife Center

The California Wildlife Center (CWC) rescues, rehabilitates, and releases wild animals in the greater LA area who might otherwise suffer from human encroachment, habitat loss, and environmental damage.

This September, the Farmers Market will be collecting pillowcases, flat sheets, empty toilet paper rolls and empty tissue boxes for CWC’s rehab center in Monte Nido. Lightly used pillowcases and sheets provide soft, reusable bedding that lines enclosures, offers comfort during healing, and supports dozens of injured and orphaned wildlife patients over time.

The cardboard toilet paper tubes and tissue boxes are used as enrichment items—often filled with food to help teach juvenile patients how to forage, practice natural behaviors, and prepare for life back in the wild.

📞 If you find an animal in need of emergency care, call the CWC hotline at 310-458-WILD (9453).
🙌 Interested in volunteering? Click here to get involved!
🌙 Support CWC by attending their fundraising event, “A Night for Wildlife,” on Sept. 18th.

(Even though the flyer says we’re collecting every Friday in Sept, you can start bringing your donation items this Friday, Aug 29th! 😉 )

There’s no better time to support our beloved small, family-owned organic farms! 🌱 The market is overflowing with incredible seasonal produce — too much to fit into a small grid on your screen. Come check out and taste the nutrient-dense rainbow in person!

This Week’s Artisan Line-Up - Shop for Virgo Season Birthday Presents!

Come explore our artisan market happening INSIDE the Community House every Friday.
