After over 200 years of publication, the Farmers’ Almanac has announced this year’s edition will be it’s last.
Since 1818, The Farmers’ Almanac published long-term weather forecasts for the United States, along with gardening tips, enjoyable stories, “wit and wisdom” and more.
“Many of you grew up hearing your parents or grandparents quote from the Almanac, always having a copy nearby,” the editors Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger wrote online. “Maybe you have planted by our Moon phases, consulted the Almanac for the “Best Days” to potty train, wean, or go fishing. We’re grateful to have been part of your life and trust that you’ll help keep the spirit of the Almanac alive.”
The current edition, the 2026 Farmers’ Almanac is available on its website, Amazon.com and at select stores.
The Farmers’ Almanac website will continue to be accessed until December 2025.
“So go ahead—plant your peas when the daffodils bloom. Watch for a red sky at night. Tell the kids how granddad always swore by the Almanac. That’s how our story stays alive.”
A competing publication, “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” which has been published every year going back 234 years is “still going strong”, according to its website.
