I sell them for $2.50 a bunch for 1/2 pound bunches and $3.50 a bunch for 1LB+ bunches. generally sell all I can grow so yes there is a market for fresh beets either with or without green.

I have a few sugar beets coming. Is there any market for them as human
food? If so, tell me about it; I've never tried them before. The tops
are quite attractive. Years ago on a road trip through Colorado or
Nebraska or somewhere, I noticed fields of it and thought that it was
mustard. "Where the heck can they sell that much mustard?", I said to
myself.
