The two-minute version
Everything you'd want to change lives in one block near the bottom of the file. You never touch anything else.
Open the file in a text editor
On a Mac, right-click the file → Open With → TextEdit. On Windows, right-click → Open With → Notepad. Not Word. Word adds invisible formatting that breaks it.
Find the line that says CATALOG
Press ⌘F (Mac) or Ctrl+F (Windows) and search for const CATALOG. Everything below it is your crops.
Change the words between the quote marks
Each crop is one line. Change a price, change a name, change the note. Keep the quote marks and the comma at the end — those are the only rules.
// before { name:"Habanero", price:0.50, unit:"each", note:"Peak season" }, // after — price went up, note changed { name:"Habanero", price:0.65, unit:"each", note:"Limited — last picking" },
Take something off by putting two slashes in front of it
Don't delete the line — you'll want it back next season. Two slashes hides it.
// sold out, hidden until next year // { name:"Sweet corn", price:0.75, unit:"each", note:"Bi-color" },
Remove the slashes when it's back.
Save, then open it in your browser to check
Double-click the saved file. It opens like any web page. If your change shows up, you're done. If the page looks broken, you probably lost a quote mark or a comma — undo with ⌘Z and try again.
Put the new file where the old one was
Whoever set up your page replaces the file. If that's us, email or text it over. If you're hosting it yourself, upload it the same way you did the first time.
Keep a copy before you edit. Duplicate the file first and name it something like sell-sheet-backup.html. Then if an edit goes sideways you have thirty seconds of recovery instead of a bad afternoon.
Your printed signs will not break
This is worth understanding before you hang anything up.
The QR code on your placard doesn't point at a filename. It points at a short permanent address — /sommerfeldt — that we control and can redirect anywhere.
So if the sheet gets renamed, rebuilt from scratch, moved to your own website, or handed to a different person entirely, the printed code still works. We change where the address points. You don't reprint anything.
That's the whole reason it's set up that way. Signs outlive websites.
Nobody can take this from you.
The file is public domain. Not licensed, not rented, not subject to terms. There is no account to lose access to and no company that can shut it off.
Move it to your own domain whenever you want. Hand it to your nephew who does websites. Give a copy to the farm down the road and let them fill in their own crops — that's allowed and it's encouraged.
That's not a promise about our intentions. It's a property of the file. It's one HTML document with no dependencies — it will open in a browser in twenty years.
Stuck?
Two things solve almost everything.
The page looks broken after an edit. You lost a quote mark, a comma, or a curly brace. Undo until it works again, then redo the change more slowly. This is why you keep a backup copy.
Your edit doesn't show up. The browser is showing you the old version. Hold Shift and click reload.
