The 2013 Old Farmer's Almanac, which marks the publication's 221st anniversary, also features:
- the most accurate astronomical data under the sun, with the best-viewing recommendations for every month
- gardening advice for growing vegetables and flowers, not to mention worthwhile weeds
- predictions of emerging consumer fads, fashions, and farsighted ideas
- amusing and enlightening articles on topics such as: baking with award-winning baker Ken Haedrich; 56 kitchen tricks, tips, and timesaving ideas; 25 secrets to a hefty harvest; solar activity; epochal occasions; home health remedies; Mother Nature’s janitor; kissing; the perils of parenting; the American farmer; portly pets; hockey penalties; and the Battle of Gettysburg

- plus quirky facts, recipes, timeless adages, advice, pithy quotes, profound proverbs, contests, anecdotes, pleasantries, ideas, hints, and charts that provide simple solutions and shortcuts for everyday challenges and much, much more!
Although the Classic Edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac, is offered in four regional editions for quick reference, every edition of the Almanac contains instructions and tables in the section titled “How to Use This Almanac” that allow readers to calculate exact events (sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset, moon's place and age, as well as tides and other data) for virtually any location in the United States. In other words, someone in Boston could still use the Western Edition to calculate their exact event times.
If calculating exact event times sounds like something you don't want to do, try our My Local Almanac digital product that does the calculations for you.
Paperback: 256 Pages (80 full-color pages)

As a child growing up in
As a child growing up in Saskatchewan in the '30's,when we used horses to farm two sections of land and grew ALL our food there were no tractors,combines,electricity,running water, etc, the Farmers Almanac was the 'Essential' life book. I learned the different phases of the moon and how to use them--still use them today and I'm 78.

I have not looked at an Almanac for some time due to being very most recently with house repairs and family expansion and support...
Today I have not only spent hours of absorption, and delight at my renewed acquaintance - I have also found many articles of interest to share with my teenage students. Articles that pique the curiosity and raise questions, as in the case of weather prediction. These form a great way in to exploration and deeper understanding of issues that are of vital importance today, such as diversity of cultural beliefs.
Taking the valuable, beneficial knowledge from the old and bringing it forward into the present so as to make positive progress through the benevolent use of knowledge: this is - this is the truest sense of the word "conservative".
