Tim Konrad is the Farmers’ Almanac’s newest editor, bringing a lifetime of outdoor experience and modern media savvy to one of North America’s most trusted and storied publications.
Tim joins the Farmers’ Almanac after more than two decades working in outdoor media, where he built a reputation for translating weather and nature-driven stories into content that resonates with everyday people. Throughout his career, he has helped grow publications into dynamic digital brands, expanding audiences across websites, social platforms, and emerging media channels while honoring the heart and heritage that made those brands matter in the first place.
Tim likes to joke that his path to the Farmers’ Almanac was practically written in the weather. Over the years, he has chased snowstorms across continents, tracked seasonal patterns in remote mountain ranges, and learned firsthand how deeply people’s lives are shaped by the rhythms of nature. That lifelong fascination with forecasts and folklore now feels like a natural fit.
“Stepping into this role feels like coming home,” says Konrad. “The Farmers’ Almanac has always been about more than predictions — it’s about helping people plan, plant, prepare, and stay connected to the natural world. Carrying that forward for a new generation is both an honor and a huge responsibility.”
Like the Farmers’ Almanac, Tim’s life has long revolved around the outdoors. He has traveled extensively in pursuit of winter, and backcountry culture, developing a deep appreciation for how regional weather patterns shape local traditions. In the winter, Tim and his family spend much of the time in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, and in the summer, you can find the Konrads living on their boat ISLANDER in the Great Salt Pond of Block Island, RI.
A father of three, Tim spends much of his free time introducing his kids to the same seasonal joys the Farmers’ Almanac celebrates — from watching the first frost settle in to planting spring gardens and tracking major storms from the kitchen window. He believes strongly in the Almanac’s reminder to slow down, pay attention to the sky, and spend more time outside.
Tim lives with his family in Brooklyn Heights, New York, where he works remotely and stays closely connected to both rural traditions and urban readers who rely on the Farmers’ Almanac to bring a bit of the countryside into their daily lives. He is frequently invited to speak about weather trends, seasonal forecasting, and the enduring relevance of practical outdoor knowledge in the digital age.
