BREAKING: The iconic Farmer’s Almanac has officially announced its shutdown after an impressive run of over 200 years, leaving many readers in shock. However, the similar-named Old Farmer’s Almanac is reassuring its audience that it will continue operations as usual.
In a statement released earlier today, the Old Farmer’s Almanac, based in New Hampshire and owned by Yankee Publishing Inc., emphasized that it is “not going anywhere.” They clarified, “You may have heard that the Farmer’s Almanac, based out of Lewiston, ME, is ceasing publication… to be clear: The OLD Farmer’s Almanac isn’t going anywhere.” This declaration comes in the wake of confusion surrounding the two almanacs, especially as one faces closure while the other thrives.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac has a rich history dating back to 1792, during the presidency of George Washington. The publication plans to introduce new offerings, including “new gardening books, new digital tools and calculators, and more seasonal weather forecasts.” They will maintain their beloved content that includes gardening tips, astronomy, and folklore, ensuring readers receive practical wisdom rooted in nature.
The press release emphasized their commitment to delivering “uplifting wisdom” amidst changing times. “As sure as the Sun will rise, The Old Farmer’s Almanac—with our familiar yellow cover and 80 percent accurate weather forecasts—will be around for generations to come,” it stated, adding heartfelt thanks to their loyal readers.
For those interested, the latest predictions for the Thanksgiving 2025 season can be found online, ensuring fans have access to valuable information even during this transition period in the almanac world.
As more details unfold, it’s important for readers to stay informed about how these changes may affect their seasonal planning and agricultural practices. The Old Farmer’s Almanac aims to continue its mission of enriching lives through nature-inspired insights, ensuring that the heritage of almanacs remains alive and well for all generations to come.
