The annual publication, based in Maine, has provided readers with weather predictions, gardening advice and other information since 1818.
The Farmer’s Almanac, separate from the Old Farmer’s Almanac, stated that its 2026 edition would be its last. Access to its online edition will end in December.
The Farmer’s Almanac doesn’t just provide long-range weather predictions. It is an amalgamation of gardening, cooking, home remedies, household advice, astrology and more.
The publication began printing in 1818, publishing every year since. Its annual book “contains informative articles, helpful planning calendars, and information on everything from the best days to garden and fish, quitting a bad habit, plus natural home remedies,” its website says.
In a farewell piece titled “A Fond Farewell,” Editor Sandi Duncan and Editor Emeritus Peter Geige said, “Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, it lives on within you.”
They continued, “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.”
The piece had no mention of why it would cease publication, but CBS News reports that there were “financial challenges” amid a “chaotic media environment.”
The 2026 edition is available on FarmersAlmanac.com, Amazon and a host of retail stores.
The outlet claims 80% accuracy, although a 2010 University of Illinois study determined a 52% accuracy rate.
The 2025-2026 forecast “calls for a season of dramatic swings and widespread wintry weather,” the website says. “Get ready to hit the slopes!”
The Northern Plains to New England will experience the coldest temperatures, and those in the Northwest should prepare for a cold winter, the Farmers’ Almanac predicts. Idaho and Washington should particularly be on the lookout.
A “cold spell” is expected in mid-February.
