Need a pre-filled crop plan?
I have one ready for you if you need it. I made it with zone 7 in mind, but it could work for other areas too. It even has lettuce planting dates and notes on which plantings should go in tunnels or not. You can use it as a starting point for your own plan.
The prefilled plans come in three versions, each one prioritizes and works back from either harvest date, seeding date, or planting date and you can choose the type you prefer.

Kat’s Crop Plan Template (Filled OUT!)
It’s not my farm’s crop plan, but rather a mocked up crop plan that has data already entered into it featuring a representing a broad array of annual vegetables with recommended number successions built into each crop type. You’ll still want to amend the size of each planting, and omit the crops you don’t want to grow.
Wait… theres more!
Here are a few other resources for crop planning, in case my version isn’t what you are looking for- There is always more to learn*
Here is a whole list of resources from ATTRA
