TIME: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM — Every Friday (with some exceptions) at the Topanga Community Center. Check calendar for updates here.Topanga Farmers Market is a community gathering nestled in the mountains, offering local, organic food, vintage & handmade goods, and live music.We are so excited to bring fresh produce back to the canyon and create a convening space for local artisans, growers, and makers. We will have an exceptional collection of vendors: a total of 38 booths each week, including fresh produce, prepared foods, and a craft market. We are prioritizing partnering with local, regenerative, and organic producers, vendors, and artists committed to building community, educating consumers, and reducing negative impact on our environment.

Given Topanga's rich history of music, we feel compelled to bring some tunes to the market. Our vision includes a mix of live acoustic performances throughout the market and amplified music on the stage near the ball field. We welcome your feedback and are open to collaboration. Reach out to us at Hello@TopangaFarmersMarket.com if you’d like to help or have ideas on how to bring music to the market. Click here if you are a musician who is interested in playing at the market to get on our list!

We want to acknowledge that our new market will reside on the ancestral lands of the Chumash, the Fernandeño Tataviam, and Gabrielino Tongva people. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have protected it throughout the generations.

For those of us, who are not Indigenous to this land, we must acknowledge the lasting impact of the California genocide on its native peoples.

With your help, we aim to become a community market that is a thoughtful steward of the environment and can give back to this sacred land in a small way.
