It’s best for market gardeners to try and find in-demand products that fetch a high price and are currently under-served in the local market. Although pretty much any crop can be grown. It’s best to avoid crops like corn and wheat though, which large farms are already supplying lots of at low prices. Of course, it will depend on your local area. The name “market garden” gives a good clue that you should be listening to what your market is asking for, and then supply that.
