Farmers' Almanac to End With 2026 Final Edition as Website Goes Offline in December

Publishers cite rising costs, digital competition, falling print sales.

Overview

  • The Maine-based annual said the 2026 issue will be its last after a print run that began in 1818.
  • Access to its website will cease in December 2025, closing the publication’s online presence.
  • Editors attributed the shutdown to higher production expenses, shrinking print sales, and displacement by internet tools and smartphone apps.
  • The final edition includes long-range weather forecasts, lunar phases, fishing calendars, gardening guides, and time-tested advice.
  • The Old Farmer’s Almanac, based in New Hampshire and founded in 1792, will continue publishing.
