Not sure you can, unless you know someone who wants to buy some. Most people would just grow their own. You could approach a Farmer's Market about a booth, but I'm sure they would want you selling something more than just mint.

Seriously? Mint grows like a weed. We had to rip it out of my garden growing up because it kept taking over everything. I don't think there's a market for it.

Theres a market for it in my rum mojito. But yea... not a monetary value they are the weeds of the herb family, will completely over take a yard.

Probably the same place I've been looking for to sell my wild strawberries.

Dry them and roll them up in some papers. I bet somebody will buy a nickel's worth...

I have some dandelions for sale if anyone is interested? (I could throw in wild onions for free!)

mojitos ... mmmmm!

People certainly need mint for those -- maybe some of your co-workers would like some? (I don't think they'd actually pay you for it -- they probably want to know that there were no pesticides near it, etc. -- but you'd get big smiles from them! And maybe they'd invite you over for a drink.)

Next well before Kentucky Derby time you might get people to reserve a lot. Pull up whole rootballs of them. Rest of the year they're wonderful too. Oh, Easter mint sauce.

Craigslist can be good. Local caterers, especially small ones. A cute sign on your fence. Area newsletter.

That is the one thing that anyone can grow...even those that kill every plant they ever own. Like Ivy, once you start to grow it, you will wish you never had. Give it away, there is not point in trying to sell it. What is it costing you? It isn't expensive to grow.
