After 200 Years, the Farmers’ Almanac Is Saying Goodbye—Here’s Why

A go-to source used by everyone from seasoned farmers to urban gardeners, the Farmers’ Almanac was chock-full of age-old wisdom, weather forecasts, and everyday wonders, but sadly, it's coming to an end.

"After more than 200 years of sharing a unique blend of weather, wit and wisdom, we’ve made the very difficult decision to write the final chapter of this historical publication," reads a note from the editors of the Farmers’ Almanac. The 2026 edition will be the last one.

Not to be confused with the Old Farmer's Almanac that has the familiar yellow cover, the Farmers’ Almanac, based in Lewiston, Maine, is a slightly newer publication, printed annually since 1818. It included information on anything and everything—from the best days to ski to how to view meteor showers and even potty training tips.

Each edition featured gardening tips, long-range weather predictions, lunar phases, recipes, fishing calendars, home remedies, lore, and expert advice.

In a statement, the publication said that the decision "reflects the growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the Almanac in today’s chaotic media environment."

“Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, its spirit will live on in the values it championed: simplicity, sustainability, and connection to nature," said editor Sandi Duncan.

The Farmers’ Almanac website will be accessible until next month. Copies of the 2026 Farmers’ Almanac are currently available on FarmersAlmanac.com, Amazon, and local stores. See a list of retailers here.
