Farmers’ Almanac, the 200-plus-year-old compendium of long-term weather predictions, gardening, fishing and moon calendars, and folk wisdom, is calling it quits.
The journal’s publishers announced Thursday that the 2026 Almanac will be the last.
“Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, its spirit will live on in 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,” the publishers wrote in a news release.
The Lewiston-based Farmers’ Almanac was first published in 1818 and followed in the tradition of similar publications, including the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which released its first issue in 1793, and Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack.
