Farmers’ Almanac Says Goodbye After 208 Years
If you grew up with a copy of the Farmers’ Almanac on the kitchen counter, this one hits hard. After more than two centuries of predicting weather, tides, and seasonal trends, the Farmers’ Almanac is closing the book for good.
The Final Forecast
The 2026 edition, already on shelves, will be the last print version. And next month, the online edition will vanish too. Editors Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger shared the news in a heartfelt farewell titled “A Fond Farewell.” They wrote, “The season we hoped would never come is here,” adding that the Almanac was more than just a publication—it was a way of life for millions of households.
Wait… Isn’t There Another Almanac?
Yes, and here’s where it gets a little confusing. The Farmers’ Almanac is ending, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac—which started way back in 1792—is still going strong. In fact, it holds the title of the oldest continuously published periodical in North America. So if you’re an Almanac fan, you’ll still have somewhere to turn.
Why It Matters
For generations, the Farmers’ Almanac wasn’t just about weather predictions. It was about tradition. Families planned gardens, weddings, and even vacations around its forecasts. Losing it feels like saying goodbye to a trusted old friend.
