Farmer’s Almanac Shuts Down; Old Farmer’s Almanac Stays Strong

UPDATE: The Farmer’s Almanac, a publication with a history spanning over 200 years, has just announced its closure, creating confusion in the almanac community. However, the Old Farmer’s Almanac reassures its readers that it is “not going anywhere.”

In a recent statement, the Old Farmer’s Almanac, based in New Hampshire and owned by Yankee Publishing Inc., emphasized its continued commitment to publishing. “As we have since 1792, during George Washington’s presidency, we will continue to publish our annual edition,” the statement clarified.

The announcement comes as a shock to many, as the Farmer’s Almanac was a staple for generations. The Old Farmer’s Almanac aims to clear up the confusion surrounding the two publications, which have similar names but distinct histories and missions.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac plans to enhance its offerings with “new gardening books, new digital tools and calculators, and more seasonal weather forecasts.” This commitment will maintain the beloved gardening, astronomy, and folklore content that has captivated readers for over two centuries.

“This is an ever-changing world, but our mission endures: to offer practical, uplifting wisdom rooted in nature and time-tested experience,” the release stated. The publication also promises to continue delivering its renowned 80 percent accurate weather forecasts, ensuring readers can rely on their advice for years to come.

The statement concluded with a touching note: “As sure as the Sun will rise, The Old Farmer’s Almanac will be around for generations to come,” thanking readers for their loyalty.
