After more than two centuries in print, The Old Farmers’ Almanac will end its run with its 2026 edition. Known for long-term weather predictions, fishing and gardening guides and folk wisdom, the publication expressed pride in its 208-year legacy. “It is with a heavy heart that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future,” editor Sandi Duncan said in a press release. The decision to call it quits was made due to the increasing financial challenges of producing and distributing the Almanac in today’s media environment, the publishers said. The final issue, Farmers’ Almanac 2026, is now available and online content will remain accessible through December 2025. "We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and grateful to our loyal staff, readers, contributors, and partners who have supported us through the years,” Duncan added. "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."
