If you want to make money try value added products. If you have garlic or herbs, dry it and add it to salt or infuse it into wine vinegar, boom $10 jar of garlic salt, $15 bottle of tarragon infused vinegar.
An average day at a busy market can net around $1200 and the peak day is twice that at $2500. An average day at a smaller farmer's market is $500 and a great day is $1000.
Even if you just grew garlic and sold it, you could make a nice amount of money especially given the value added products you can make with garlic. Last november I planted 400ft or 4000 cloves of garlic, which get you around $2 a bulb if you sell them individually. You can also save the biggest bulbs with the most cloves to re-plant next season and if you have a lot of good seed garlic, you can sell 6 seed bulbs for $25. Good honest money.
