An update to our readers: The Farmers’ Almanac is still here.

Updated October 2026

Dear Friends,

We have some very good news to share.

In 2025, the previous owners of the Farmers’ Almanac announced that the 2026 edition would be the last and that, after more than 200 years, both the publication and FarmersAlmanac.com would come to an end.

Thankfully, that farewell was not the final chapter.

The Farmers’ Almanac continues today under new ownership, with a renewed commitment to preserving the traditions that generations of readers have known and loved while bringing the Almanac into a new era.

FarmersAlmanac.com remains active, and the Farmers’ Almanac is once again available in print.

Our 2027 Farmers’ Almanac marks the 210th edition, continuing a remarkable American publishing tradition that began in 1818.

A Tradition Worth Continuing

For more than two centuries, families have turned to the Farmers’ Almanac for weather, gardening advice, astronomy, folklore, calendars, seasonal wisdom, household tips and the little bits of practical knowledge that have always made an almanac something worth keeping close at hand.

Some readers remember an Almanac sitting on their grandparents’ kitchen table.

Others have used it to follow the phases of the Moon, plan a garden, check the Best Days calendar, watch the night sky, prepare for winter or simply settle an argument about an old weather saying.

Those traditions were simply too valuable to disappear.

Today, our goal is to honor what made the Farmers’ Almanac special while ensuring that it remains useful and relevant for another generation.

That means continuing to bring readers:

• Long-range weather forecasts
• Gardening calendars and advice
• Full Moon and astronomy guides
• Best Days calendars
• Seasonal tips and traditions
• Weather folklore and old-time sayings
• Home and outdoor advice
• Fascinating history and natural-world stories
• A new annual printed Farmers’ Almanac

And, of course, plenty of the weather, wit and wisdom that readers have expected from the Almanac for generations.

A New Chapter Beginning in 2026

The Farmers’ Almanac may have come very close to ending, but sometimes old institutions are given an opportunity to begin again.

That is how we view this moment.

We are not trying to erase the announcement that appeared on this page in 2025. It was real, and the farewell from longtime Editor Sandi Duncan and Editor Emeritus Peter Geiger represented the end of an important era in Farmers’ Almanac history.

Their work—and the work of the many editors, writers, contributors and employees who came before them—helped carry this publication across generations.

We are deeply grateful for that legacy.

But the story did not end there.

The Farmers’ Almanac Is Still Here

If you found this page because you searched “Did the Farmers’ Almanac shut down?” or “Is the Farmers’ Almanac still being published?”, the answer is simple:

No. The Farmers’ Almanac is still publishing.

FarmersAlmanac.com remains online and is being actively updated with new articles, calendars, forecasts and seasonal information.

And for readers who still love having a real Almanac in their hands, the tradition of the annual printed edition continues as well.

We hope you will explore the site, sign up for our newsletter, follow our latest forecasts and calendars, and pick up a copy of the newest Farmers’ Almanac.

Most of all, we hope you will continue to make the Almanac part of your family’s traditions.

More Than 200 Years—and Counting

The Farmers’ Almanac first appeared in 1818.

Since then, America has changed in ways its earliest editors could never have imagined.

But some things remain remarkably familiar.

People still want to know when winter will arrive.

Gardeners still watch the weather.

Families still look for the Full Moon.

People still notice when the birds migrate, when the leaves begin to turn and when the first frost settles across the garden.

And people still pass down bits of wisdom from one generation to another.

That enduring curiosity about the seasons, the sky and the natural world is what has always been at the heart of the Farmers’ Almanac.

And that is what we intend to preserve.

The Farmers’ Almanac story continues.

Thank you for being part of it.

The Original 2025 Farewell Announcement

The following announcement was published by the previous owners of the Farmers’ Almanac in 2025. We are preserving it here as part of the historical record.

A Fond Farewell

The season we hoped would never come is here.

Dear Friends,

It is with a great appreciation and heartfelt emotions that we write to share some sad news. 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. The 2026 Farmers’ Almanac will be our last edition.

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.

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.

With deepfelt appreciation,

Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger
Editor and Editor Emeritus
