The Farmers’ Almanac — which has been providing weather, gardening, home and other tips for more than 200 years — is shutting down.
Publisher Geiger of Lewiston, Maine, which has produced the Farmers’ Almanac since 1818, made the announcement Nov. 6, saying its 2026 edition will be the last.
“Many of you grew up hearing your parents or grandparents quote from the Almanac, always having a copy nearby,” editor and editor emeritus Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger wrote on the website. “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.
“We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and are filled with gratitude. We appreciate and thank our loyal readers, contributors, and partners who have supported us through the years. Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, it lives on within you.
“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.”
Copies of the 2026 Farmers’ Almanac are available at FarmersAlmanac.com, Amazon.com and retail stores.
The Farmers’ Almanac is separate from The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which also provides weather forecasts. It was first printed in 1792 and is distributed by Yankee Publishing Inc., an employee-owned company in Dublin, New Hampshire.
