Write your own code. You may use language provided methods to write XML or just write it without the fancy methods; like how you would create an ordinary text file with XML in it.

XML like html is simple, write that to your file. That's a feed.

See, the feed is going to contain your product info, so you will have to access a database to retrieve the product information, then you just write it to a flat file in the desired XML format.

As TheGrid says it is very very simple, for a small site it can be hand coded.
If you have your product information in a database then you just need a simple report to extract and format the content. How difficult that is depends on what reporting capability comes with the database and your own coding skill.
