Farmers' Almanac announces final publication after 208-year run
After more than two centuries in print, the Farmers’ Almanac will end its run with its 2026 edition.
Known for long-term weather predictions, moon phases, fishing and gardening guides and folk wisdom, the publication expressed pride in its 208-year legacy.
In a statement to ABC News, editor Sandi Duncan said the publication will "live on in the way that millions of readers share the bits of wit and wisdom they gleaned from the Almanac."
"Its spirit and true goal of spreading a way of thinking — one that values simplicity, seasonal wisdom, and the amazing gifts from nature will live on for eternity thanks to our fans and readers," Duncan added.
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 in a press release.
The final issue, Farmers’ Almanac 2026, is now available and online content will remain accessible through December 2025.
Based in Lewiston, Maine, the annual publication is typically released by late August or early September.
"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 said.
