The Old Farmer’s Almanac—234 Years and Still Going Strong

About The Old Farmer's Almanac

Trusted wisdom, new tools, and guidance for every season.

Written By: Catherine Boeckmann Executive Digital Editor and Master Gardener

To our Friends and Fans:

You may have heard that the Farmer’s Almanac, based out of Lewiston, ME, is ceasing publication after an incredible 200+ year run.

Over the years, there has been some confusion between different almanacs, so to be clear: The OLD Farmer’s Almanac isn’t going anywhere.  As we have since 1792, during George Washington’s presidency, we will continue to publish our annual edition, while educating and entertaining readers online at Almanac.com.

Learn more about the differences between The Old Farmer’s Almanac and other almanacs.

In 2026, The Old Farmer’s Almanac continues to grow with new gardening books, new digital tools and calculators, and more seasonal weather forecasts—while maintaining the same reliable gardening, astronomy, and folklore content readers have loved for generations. In an ever-changing world, our mission endures: to offer practical, uplifting wisdom rooted in nature and time-tested experience.

Rest assured, as sure as the Sun will rise, The Old Farmer’s Almanac—with our familiar yellow cover and 80 percent accurate weather forecasts—will be around for generations to come.

Thank you for being a reader,

The Editors of The Old Farmer’s Almanac

Like so many other's I grew up with the Old farmer's Almanac. My dad taught us how to use it for gardening. As far as I am concerned, You are the Original Farmer's Almanac. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it in Northern Virginia. Ace Hardware use to have them available but not recently. I try to purchase one yearly for gardening and Weather. The most accurate weather prediction in the region. I purchased this year's edition on line and am not use to paying $20.00 for the Old Farmer's Almanac.

Hi Shiela, The 2026 Old Farmer's Almanac is $8.22 on Amazon.com, Walmart.com, etc. It should not be $20 unless you are looking at the larger format easy-to-read edition; this is a custom special-order situation. But rest assured, the 2026 edition is still the same price!

I am so relieved to know you are not going anywhere. I heard yesterday that the 2026 edition would be your last one by the sales associate at checkout when I purchased it. We were both so bummed about it. I really enjoy reading about gardening and all the helpful tips and tricks this publication has throughout the year. I depend on the information concerning the moon cycles as it relates to gardening. Thank you for being.

I must tell you that I have been enjoying your publication for at least sixty years. At my present 78 years that seems about right. Never worked on a farm. Never grew more than a small garden. But when I read your almanac so many different worlds are opened to me. You have shared so much beauty with me and so widened all of my horizons. Thank you for being here.
