Farmers’ Almanac to End 208-Year Run With Final 2026 Edition

Editors attribute the decision to mounting costs in a difficult media market.

Overview

  • The Lewiston, Maine publisher said the 2026 issue will be its last, with the website and online content coming down in December 2025 and social media posts stopping.
  • Editors Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger shared a farewell message thanking readers and encouraging them to keep the Almanac’s traditions alive.
  • The final edition is available now in print and online, with copies offered at FarmersAlmanac.com, Amazon, and local retailers until the site shuts in December 2025.
  • First printed in 1818, the publication became known for long‑range forecasts derived from a traditional “secret formula” referencing sunspots, lunar cycles, and planetary positions.
  • The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a separate New Hampshire-based title, said it will continue publishing and maintaining its website.
