LT Harvesta guide

Watch the 2-minute setup

LT Harvesta is a block theme for farm shops, market gardens and veg box (CSA) schemes. Its look comes from the grower’s year: a 12-month season strip with the current month marked in beet, leaf green for what is in season, and quiet thin rules everywhere else. See it live in the demo.

Section patterns (Pro)

Pattern	Use it for
Hero with this week’s box	A large headline about your picking and delivery days, next to a packing slip with this week’s box, one item marked “new this week”, and the season strip with the current month filled in.
How the box works	Four numbered steps across the week: choose a size, we pick on Monday, delivery or collection on Wednesday, skip any week.
Box sizes	Your box sizes as rows of a price board: who each box feeds, what is usually in it, the weekly price and a button.
In season	One row per crop with a short note and its own month strip. Months in season are filled in, and this month is marked down the whole table.
Farm shop and opening hours	Photo of the shop, opening hours by day and what is on the shelves.
Pick your own	What visitors can pick and when, how it works on the day, and a photo.
About the farm	Photo of the farm, its story and a short ticked list.
Our growers	Three portraits with what each person looks after and a one-line bio.
Open days	The year’s farm events as dated rows, with a tractor drawing.
Reviews from box customers	Three sample quotes (use real reviews only).
Frequently asked questions	Delivery area, how you grow, skipping weeks, swaps, deliveries when people are out, crates.
Location and delivery area	Address and parking, delivery area, phone, and a map with directions.
Contact details	Call, email and visit, each under a thin rule.
Start a box call to action	Deep green band with the sign-up button and phone.
Latest articles	Your three newest blog posts.

Page layouts (Pro)

• Home page: the complete homepage.
• Veg boxes page: how the box works, box sizes, in season, reviews, FAQ and the call to action.
• About page: the farm’s story, growers, pick your own, reviews, open days and the call to action.
• Contact page: contact details, farm shop hours, FAQ, location with the delivery area and the call to action.

The season strip

Each strip has twelve cells, January to December. The current month is marked automatically, also on pages you saved in an earlier month. Set the months each crop is in season in the In season pattern, or on a page you already created by adding or removing the is-in class on a month in the Code editor. This week’s box list in the hero is normal text: change it whenever the box changes.

Photo guide

Replace the illustrations and placeholder portraits with your own photos: select the image in the editor, then Replace. These sizes look sharp on large screens without slowing the site down.

• Save photos as JPEG or WebP and keep each file under about 300 KB (a free tool such as squoosh.app does this).
• WordPress crops to the shape for you: select the image → Crop in the toolbar to choose which part shows.
• Fill in the Alternative text of each photo (for example “Our reception desk”) for accessibility and Google.
• Only use photos you own or have permission for. Ask clients before you publish photos of them.

Colour styles

Field (default: cool field white, soil, leaf green and a beet mark for this month), Frost (winter blue-grey with a red cabbage mark), Tomato (tomato red with a green calyx mark) and Harvest night (dark, with pale leaf green and pink beet). Try them in the live demo with the colour dots in the top bar.

Box sign-ups

LT Harvesta has no built-in form or checkout. Link the “Start a box” buttons to your box scheme’s sign-up page or online shop, or add your form or shop plugin’s block to the Contact page. Ask only for what you need to deliver the box: name, address, phone or email, box size and start week.
