A Fond Farewell
The season we hoped would never come is here.
Dear Friends,
It is with a great appreciation and heartfelt emotions that we write to share some sad news. After more than 200 years of sharing a unique blend of weather, wit and wisdom, we’ve made the very difficult decision to write the final chapter of this historical publication. The 2026 Farmers’ Almanac will be our last edition.
Many of you grew up hearing your parents or grandparents quote from the Almanac, always having a copy nearby. Maybe you have planted by our Moon phases, consulted the Almanac for the “Best Days” to potty train, wean, or go fishing. We’re grateful to have been part of your life and trust that you’ll help keep the spirit of the Almanac alive.
We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and are filled with gratitude. We appreciate and thank our loyal readers, contributors, and partners who have supported us through the years. Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, it lives on within you.
So go ahead—plant your peas when the daffodils bloom. Watch for a red sky at night. Tell the kids how granddad always swore by the Almanac. That’s how our story stays alive.
With deepfelt appreciation,
Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger
Editor and Editor Emeritus

so sad to read this. I still read the Almanac. Found memories of my Dad, who got me reading the Almanac. He would plant his whole garden around what the Almanac said were the best dates to plant.
I am so sad to hear this. Thank you! God Speed!!
Terrible news. But thank you for all you have done.
Nooooooo!!! My grandparents and my dad always had the Almanac handy. I’m now 60 and don’t want to think of a world without y’all. How very sad.
So sad.
