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've been collecting Old Farmer's Almanacs for over 50 years now (since the title page still said "(Old) Farmer's Almanack") and intermittently gotten the other one as well. Since the now-Old one was not "Old" when it was young,perhaps you could buy out the trademarks of the one being discontinued and leave no doubt as to what publication is THE Farmer's Almanac(k)?

Oh whew! The best news ever! I buy an Almanac at the grocery market every year, count on and look forward to the informative emails and purchase from the Farmers store whenever my budget allows.
