After 200 years, it has been announced that the 2026 Farmers’ Almanac will be the final edition.
From the Farmers’ Almanac:
It is with deep appreciation and heartfelt emotions that we share some sad news with you today. The 2026 Farmers’ Almanac will be our last edition ever. We are so grateful to have been part of your life. We will miss sharing the unique blend of wit, weather, and wisdom that you’ve grown accustomed to. Our wish for you is to keep tending what’s important. Keep watching the weather and awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets. Thank you for your support.
Peter Geiger, Editor Emeritus and Sandi Duncan, Editor posted the following:
Many of you grew up hearing your parents or grandparents quote from the Almanac, always having a copy nearby. 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. With deepfelt appreciation…
