This depends, how much will you produce, what's the market like, etc. . Although I'm not qualified to answer, I just want to see where this discussion goes. 

Hailey,

    You probably need to do some more Local research to find the answer to that one since each market is gonna be different.  Perhaps go see what the produce stalls are charging for what they are selling there.  And then you need to take note of the things that would be similar to what you would be growing and selling and then figure out how much it would cost you to grow and sell those things and how much you can grow and sell each week and then figure out how much you might make and see if it comes out to more than it would cost you to produce it and then do the math to see if you would make anything or not.

I don't think anyone here can tell you how much you would make selling crops at your local farmer's market.

there might be a few here who might be able to tell you how much they have made at a market before (though I don't know if anyone is willing nor if they would tell you the gross or the net.)

I know for my first Month at the market, I didn't even sell enough to cover the booth rent let alone any of the other costs.  but then you have to gain a following at a market before you will have enough regular customers to really support it.  And the market I was at really wasn't a farmer's market and once I did start selling I sold more live plants than produce.
