• 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
• the best days to fish, plant, wean, set eggs, and much more
• 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.
