The Old Farmer’s Almanac—Growing Strong, Still Publishing!

About The Old Farmer's Almanac

The 2027 Old Farmer's Almanac will arrive on September 1, 2026!

Written By: Catherine Boeckmann Executive Digital Editor and Master Gardener

A Tradition That Never Stopped

The Old Farmer’s Almanac has never stopped publishing since it was founded in 1792, during George Washington’s presidency. The 2027 Old Farmer’s Almanac—with forecasts for winter 2026-2027—will arrive on September 1, 2027!

For more than 230 years—through wars, economic upheavals, and global pandemics—we’ve continued to publish our annual yellow-covered edition.

That familiar little book remains a cherished tradition for generations of readers.

More Than a Yellow Book

Today, The Old Farmer’s Almanac lives far beyond the pages of the book itself.

In addition to the flagship Almanac, we publish the Garden Guide, a series of practical gardening handbooks, our beloved calendars, the Kids Almanac, and other special publications designed to help you grow, plan, observe, and enjoy the seasons.

Every Season. Every Day.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac reaches far beyond its printed pages. Online, you’ll find long-range forecasts, planting calendars, frost dates, and practical tools and calculators to help you plan, plant, and prepare.

Through our newsletters and social channels, we share timely guidance throughout the year—for gardeners, stargazers, and weather-watchers alike.

From time to time, there has been confusion among publications that use the name “almanac.” The Old Farmer’s Almanac, established in 1792, remains in continuous publication, in print and online, and continues to grow. 

As sure as the Sun will rise, we will be here: useful, with a pleasant degree of wisdom.

I grew up with the OFA hanging on a nail with a piece of twine in our kitchen. Many, many years later I have done that in our home, for over 30 yrs, and look forward to it every year. It is always full of useful information and indispensable for country (or urban) life. Thanks to the staff, writers and researchers who put this cherished publication together every year.

We just discovered the website. When I heard the hardcopy was not going to be published, I went looking. My partner and friend Tim, a retired scientist from Cleveland Clinic, love this. He has Parkinson's. I read it to him in the morning on the phone as he is in a retirement home. I still count on the weather for report for I grow my own food. Thank you.

Will the website be up even if the Almanac will no longer be published? I would be disappointed if this website goes down. Thank you and you all have a bless and prosperous day. You all have been such a blessings to my family.

We use the almanac to determine when to castrate livestock...believe it or not if you follow their dates your animals have better success rate and little to no bleeding! Donkeys are very susceptible to dying upon castrating so we follow the Almanacs days to castrate. Works great!
