What is included in the product
The Excel download includes an editable Gantt chart, 30+ pre-built marketing actions, owner fields, color-coded inputs, and built-in formulas for progress and dates.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
This download includes a pre-written marketing plan you can edit. It saves hours of writing and can be tailored to any small farm or local food business. Swap copy, channels, and offers to match your market.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
The template uses an Excel Gantt chart for clear visual planning and sequencing. You'll see campaign phases, overlaps, and key dates at a glance so you avoid conflicts and last-minute rushes. It's calendar-first planning for seasonal crops.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
Includes 30+ ready marketing actions across email, social, markets, partnerships, and PR. Actions are practical-CSA launch emails, farmers' market promos, chef outreach-so you don't miss steps. Copy and drop them into your schedule.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
All start dates and task durations are editable without breaking the plan's logic. Change planting windows, move market dates, or extend prep time and the Gantt adjusts. That keeps timelines realistic for seasonal variability.
Built-In Progress Tracking
Built-in progress tracking shows percent complete and flags overdue tasks in the sheet. See what's done, what's late, and what needs priority at a glance so execution stays tight across the season.
Simplifies Team Coordination
The plan simplifies team coordination by letting you assign tasks, set owners, and surface dependencies. Everyone sees who does what and when, which reduces overlap between harvest, packing, and sales activities.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
The template is beginner-friendly with color-coded cells and built-in formulas so no Excel skill is needed. Change text, dates, and owners with simple inputs; the sheet handles the calculations and timeline coloring automatically.
Printable and Shareable
The plan exports to PDF and works with Google Sheets for easy sharing and printing. Use a printable one-page timeline for meetings, or share the live sheet with partners and staff for real-time updates.
Weekly Highlight & Completion Guide
Weekly highlight shows the current week and key tasks, plus a completion guide that lists must-do items for that week. Use it for your weekly stand-up or to prep for the next market.
