I finally managed to make the Menominee Farmers market, and they did have a vendor there that had organic herbs and greens. Right now about the only thing I'm missing about living in the 'burbs of a big city is the sheer volume of vendors at farmers markets, and having over a dozen markets within a reasonable driving distance.
Herbs were $2 for what looked like an ounce and a half to 2 oz, so for now I'll go with $1/oz for fresh herbs. Leaf lettuce was $2 for a bag, about the same quantity as what was provided in week 4. Swiss Chard was $3 a bag, what I got this week was at least 3 bags worth. Kale was $4/bag, about the same quantity in the bag as the chard (I know, we didn't get kale yet, but if it's at the market it should be comming soon unless the crop totally bombed). The local organic pricing seems to be comparible to what I remember organic produce being in the Detroit area, so I'm fairly confident these new numbers are an accurate representation of actual value.
So, here's my updated estimates:
Week 4:
Sorrel: 4.5 oz $4.50
Swiss Chard: 1.54 lbs $9.00
Oregano: 2.9 oz $2.90

Pok Choi: 2.2 oz $2.00 (used pricing for organic lettuce)
