Default farmers market pricing

What's a fair asking price for herb plants at farmers' markets?

Basil
Rosemary
Chives
Dill
Mint
Sage
Thyme
Oregano


Probably in 4" pots


Whatever the market will bear. Check your local garden centers, Home
Depot, etc. If the market is supposed to be an economy outlet, charge
just a bit less. If it's supposed to be superior home-grown, a bit
more. Also depends on clientele. And your product. A well-established
rosemary plant (*not* 1st year) is worth, IMHO, a great deal more than
a little pot of dill that's going to go to seed and die in a couple
of weeks. Around here, a 4" pot with a plant appropriately large (not
4 leaves of basil) would go for prices circling around $4.
