Here's our "high value" crops:

garlic
raspberries
asparagus
(and, this year, soybeans at $10.25 per bushel - but that's a whole different matter. <grin>)
And, of course, the whole "value added" element can come into play here: you can ask more for braided softneck garlic than loose bulbs in a box. Nicely packaged garlic with your name/face on it can get more $ as well. Purple and white asparagus can sometimes get a premium. We ask more for our Fall raspberries, when no one else is selling them.

Someone mentioned Indian corn and gourds - there's a company in our area who makes up shocks and arrangements, and contracts with office buildings to decorate in the fall.
