I have never sold at market, but a farmer friend who does farmer's markets told me he sold more at a higher price by leaving the dried stems attached to both onions and garlic. Apparently the customers, mostly city folk, were fascinated seeing how the plants looked, and it set his garlic apart from the bins of cleaned bulbs everyone else was selling.
