The Old Farmer’s Almanac Documentary

I ADORE The Old Farmers Almanac!!! My grandfather was the one who introduced my interest and then my continued love of this wonderful publication. I use it with admiration in the way it has remained true to it's original form and find it most acccurate in weather forecasting and planting guides. On the rare occasions that I plant without reading the moon guides, I have regretted it while looking upon my less than productive vegetable gardens! It has always been amazing to me the accuracy in which this historic publication continues to produce. I start looking for the new version at the end of each summer and then once it is in my greedy hands I read and reread it all year long! My Thanks to all of the dedicated people who put their hearts and souls into keeping this icon alive!! Pam Walsh

Nearly,Ten editions have been produced since I took my road trip on September day up to Dublin, where I was greeted by Ms.Janice Stillman the first woman Publisher of The Old Farmers Almanac. I four the estate of the Hon.Robt.B.Thomas in the most capable hands and was treated very kindly by the staff who carry on the duties of the daily operation of Yankee and Co.

As with many of us I started reading TOFA at the knee of my parents and Grandmother all of whom used the Almanac as part of their lives.My folks having grown up in a time when our town still had un paved roads and dirt side walks. Living right on the Delaware River where the 3 states (N.Y/N.J./P.A. conjoin offered many wonders and pleasures that have since taken leave.

The OFA survives and gives me respite taking me to a earlier time and a pice of what was that continues and can be touched by my twins aged 8 and their nephews and nieces.

I want to thank Ms.Stillman and staff for preserving the old book and invite others to enjoy the wit , poems, tips , puzzles and wisdom that still fills this publication, all these many years, in the tradition and in the name of that ob't servant,
Rob.B.Thomas,
Your friend through out all my ages,

I truly love my old Farmer's almanac, but when it comes to the weather I find that if I flip it around that seems to work best.

If it is predicted to be hot I know it will be cold if it is predicted to be cold I know it will be hot.lol

But even so I still love my Farmer's almanac and is why I subscribe to it year after year.
