Farmers’ Almanac Best Days Calendar
Make the most of your moments with the Farmers’ Almanac Best Days Calendar. According to our two century year-old proprietary formulae, certain activities are believed to bring greater success, according to the Moon’s phase and its position within the zodiac.

The position of the Moon according to the zodiac and a few other elements factor in as well, but you don’t have to worry about any calculations. We’ve done the hard part for you! Here is a taste …

Best Days for Parenting
We love hearing from our readers, especially those who have experienced success with our calendars. Recently, one of the greatest responses was from our parenting community who found the Best Days for weaning and potting training especially helpful! Here is a testimonial from Haley in Tennessee, via TikTok.

When are the best days to prune my citrus trees, lightly. I live in southern Ca. Thanks
Why does the Best Days from the actual book differ from the Best Days on this site?
Ex: Book says the best Days to cut hair to increase growth for March is 3-4 and 7-8 and April 1, 11-12, no March 30-31 but this site says March 3-4, 7-8 & 30-31 but not for April 1.
Which one is more accurate 🤔
Hi! We are thinking you have the wrong book (what color is the cover?) because the dates in our printed edition of the Farmers’ Almanac match what’s here on line. You may have a different book. Ours is an orange and green cover – here’s a link to what it looks like – https://store.farmersalmanac.com/FARM/p-FA-25_GBALFARET25
Ok, that would make sense than. I have only known of 1 Farmer’s Almanac since my childhood and it is the bright yellow book. I’ve never known for there to be different Farmer’s Almanac. How long have this version been around?
Hi, this Farmers’ Almanac has been around and published every year since 1818. At one time there were hundreds of “farmers” almanacs as they were the “newspapers” of the day. our Farmers’ Almanac and the yellow one are the two oldest and most consecutively publshed.
I have tried for years to grow a successful garden, with very limited success. I have only a 4×8 area. The only thing I seem to have any success at are snow peas. I’ve tried everything…I’m now 70, and can’t do as much as I used to. Is the farmer’s market the only garden I’ll be able to harvest from?
Gardening can be quite the patience tester! Have you tried growing flowers or herbs? Sometime vegetables can be very hard as they depend on so much including the amount of sun they receive, soil make up, etc. Start small. Have you tried transplants instead of seeds? Good luck!

Where can I find the past 2025 best days? Why doesn’t it show past, current, future–past dates vanish? I thought I used to see all the best dates for each category listed somewhere.
