Should I sell figs at the farmer's market?

Yes, sell them! Wish you were near me. Oh, and I miss all the mulberry trees at the home I grew up in. We had some that produced HUGE berries----my father used to have us take bedsheets out to the trees, spread them on the ground and then shake the branches until no more berries fell. My mom made the best mulberry cobbler! Plus she would freeze some (we'd have some with just sugar sprinkled on for desserts). Oh how I miss that!

I had kind of a wild childhood, pretty much dumped off with whoever was willing to take me at the time. Anyhow, one of my fondest memories was living with Aunt Bina (who wasn't an aunt at all, but an elderly cousin). She had a mulberry tree in the backyard with branches just right for sitting in. I spent many an afternoon up in that tree, getting all purple on the outside and sick on the inside from too many mulberries.

My grandma had a mulberry tree. I fell out of that thing so many times trying to get the best ones.

Oh how I wish I had your dilemma, I

warm soft figs from the tree! They are so expensive where I live I pay 5.00 for a small baggie at our local farmers market. I am waiting anxiously for their arrival this year.
That being said, is there a market or does everyone around you have one of those pesky, wishing it was mulberry trees? It may or may not be worth your effort depending on your local area.
