The Farmer’s Almanac Announces 2026 Will be the Last Edition Ever

Yesterday, in a social media post, The Farmer's Almanac announced that its upcoming 2026 edition will be the last one ever. Making it the end of an era, for sure. Since 1818, they have been a source of information for weather, gardening, and even the best time to go fishing. They'll also start phasing out their online presence soon.

If you have ever read a story here on our website about nature predicting the weather or animal folklore, chances are the facts of the subject came from this trusty guide. I know some people pick one up as soon as it is on the stands at the grocery store and keep it handy all year to answer those random questions that come up.

Like, when will the first frost probably be? Gotta protect those flowers! Or, when are the full moons happening each month? Luckily, The Farmer's Almanac isn't the only source of these kinds of topics. It is not to be confused with The Old Farmer's Almanac, which has no plans of going anywhere.

Founded first in 1792, The OLD Farmer's Almanac will now be the one and only. I don't know how I am just now realizing they are two different magazines! Did you know that?

However, this is definitely a relief. We'll have a place to go when we want to learn about the best time to plant certain vegetables or read a funny and meaningful parable. "Rest assured, as sure as the Sun will rise, The Old Farmer’s Almanac—with our familiar yellow cover (seen below) and 80 percent accurate weather forecasts—will be around for generations to come."
