LEWISTON, ME, SAVANNAH, GA – Farmers’ Almanac® and Farmers’ Almanac TV™ have launched a completely redesigned, interactive Web site that brings the Almanac’s remarkably accurate weather forecasts, and its old world wisdom about simpler, more sustainable living into the 21st century.

The site features everything you need to know about weather in just one click: long-range forecasts, current forecasts, historical weather conditions, weather video, weather stories, weather folklore and more.

It also includes:

• Farmers’ Almanac TV video about fascinating personalities, unique events and admirable endeavors from both the familiar and remote corners of the North American landscape.
• A searchable library for recipes, and an opportunity to add your own favorite dish.
• More opportunities to exchange hints, tips, pictures and other information.
• Best Days, Planting by the Moon calendars and more.

“For nearly 200 years, we have taught North Americans how to garden, improve their homes, understand the weather and live a resourceful, self-sufficient life that’s close the earth,” said Peter Geiger, Philom., editor of the Farmers’ Almanac. “The new FarmersAlmanac.com showcases our content in more dynamic ways than ever before and creates a community for all things Almanac.”

Since 1818, millions of readers have treasured the Farmers’ Almanac for its amazingly accurate long-range weather predictions, entertaining articles, and timeless advice on how to live a better, simpler and more enjoyable life.

In 2006, Farmers’ Almanac TV debuted on national public television. The magazine-style-show, now in its second season, covers fascinating personalities, unique events and admirable endeavors from familiar and remote corners of North America. Peppered throughout are hints and tips that span a dozen varied lifestyle categories – gardening, cooking, natural cures, weather and others – taken straight from years of actual Almanac pages.

Visitors to FarmersAlmanac.com will have a one-stop shop for everything they have come to value about the print publication and national public television series: long-range weather predictions for all of North America; astronomy calendars; natural remedies; advice on the best days to plant, fish, cut hair, quit a habit and more; gardening tips, helpful household hints, a brand new searchable library featuring hundreds of mouth-watering recipes, regular blog postings by Farmers’ Almanac Editor Peter Geiger and others, community forums and segments from Farmers’ Almanac TV.

The new site also includes weather content above and beyond Farmers’ Almanac long-range forecasts, weather glossaries, weather video and weather folklore. WeatherBug.com – a top 20 media property – provides real-time, local weather forecasts, pollen and UV reports while NOAA provides historical weather data.

“Our new site is both engaging and informative,” Geiger said. “It will truly delight our visitors, who will find many reasons to come back.”
