The Farmers’ Almanac Announces It’s Shutting Down



The Farmer’s Almanac has announced that they are shutting down at the end of the year, once its final edition for 2026 goes on sale. The book that’s been in publication for 207 years points to skyrocketing printing costs and fewer people buying physical copies of books. The annual guide has been a trusty resource for gardeners, fishers, farmers, and anyone planning outdoor activities since 1818, providing practical advice and seasonal forecasts. The publication will not be moving into a digital format, and the site will go dark after December. The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which is a completely separate entity, will continue to operate.
