I have lots of dill heads. We've been using dill as a pest control on our cabbage with the purpose of harvesting the seed heads once dry, but now that we have harvested the cabbage and we have customers asking us for heads to pickle with I am curious what folks are charging for dill heads...if at all? I was thinking about the . 10 to .25 range depending on the amount ordered.

At farmers' market last year, and probably this year; not as individual heads, but as tall bunches of plants cut near the ground after the seedhead formed, including seedhead and some leaf, but the leaf mostly dried down at that point; enough seedheads for a canner load of pickles: 2.50 / bunch. This is not a high priced area.
