IRVING PARK — The newest addition to Chicago's growing number of farmers markets makes its debut Saturday in Horner Park.

The weekly, open-air market will run 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the corner of California and Montrose avenues, in front of the park's field house.

Among the vendors announced for the Horner Park farmers market: K&A Organic Roots farm from Fowler, Ind., 90 miles south of Chicago. K&A will be selling fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit, having recently expanded its berry production. The farm has been in operation for more than 100 years.

M's Organic Farm from Woodstock, Ill., will be familiar to anyone who's visited Logan Square's farmers market. M's Organic specializes in greens, herbs (live and dried), tomatoes, peppers and sunflowers, as well as its own line of pestos, salsas and sauces made from the farm's produce.

Global Garden Refugee Training Farm will also be providing produce.
