The Topanga Farmers Market Gets a Reboot

The All-New Topanga Farmers Market Makes Its Launch.

  

“We are so excited to bring fresh produce 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 44 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."  - TFM Co-Founders, Freddi Swanson and Kate Kimmel

Their vision is grand, and we love it!

More than just a farmers market, they see this as a weekly community event. The vision is to create a gathering for the whole community, with live music, entertainment, arts, crafts, food, and fun. Set at the Topanga Community Center, the location is just the right fit for this type of weekly happening.

Aiming to be a zero-waste market, The Topanga Farmer’s Market vendors are asked to use less plastic packaging and disposable products, and customers are encouraged to bring reusable bags to the market. The TFM even sells its own reusable TFM branded tote bag. You can email them at [email protected]  to order one, as their online shopping is still in the works. What a great way to show your support for this awesome community event and keep the waste down, too.

Benefits That Go Beyond!

But it isn’t just about being an awesome event for Topangans and those who love Topanga. Kate and Freddi have leveraged their personal experiences working in the non-profit sector to take the benefit to an even greater level. A percentage of the market proceeds will support two incredible organizations: Suprmarkt, doing important work in South LA to make organic food accessible to all, and Celebration Nation, providing much-needed services to farm workers and their families.

Something For Everyone.
