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 must tell you that I have been enjoying your publication for at least sixty years. At my present 78 years that seems about right. Never worked on a farm. Never grew more than a small garden. But when I read your almanac so many different worlds are opened to me. You have shared so much beauty with me and so widened all of my horizons. Thank you for being here.

I am compelled to say, in my almost 60 years, I've paid attention to your publication since before I could read. My maternal grandmother, Mabel would read to me from it. The yellow book, has always taught everything I needed for gardening in different areas of No. America. Thank you for all your continued efforts. Sincerely, a gardener from the West to the East, also the North to the South.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac was a tradition in our family. The little yellow book still contains relevant info for gardening, recipes, advice, and it’s useful with a pleasant degree of humor. If you like TOFA, you should read the annual Garden Guide available Feb. 1
