The Farmers’ Almanac Will Continue Publishing — And Maine Rejoices

In early November of 2025, we were all shocked by the news that, after being published annually for over 200 years, the iconic Farmers' Almanac would be ending its run.

The publication, based on Lewiston, Maine, had been written and distributed by Peter Geiger and his team for decades.

When the announcement about the end of the almanac was made, a post on the Farmers' Almanac website explained, in part:

We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and are filled with gratitude. We appreciate and thank our loyal readers, contributors, and partners who have supported us through the years. Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, it lives on within you.

While Geiger and his team never specific explained why they were ending production, we had a few assumptions about the reason.  In a time when, thanks to our cellphones, we have access to information instantly, the idea of consulting an annual publication may seem a little dated.  However, right up until the announcement that the almanac would cease to be published, there were still plenty of people who swear by the information provided by the almanac when it comes to planting their gardens or deciding when they want to take their summer camping trip.

The Farmers' Almanac Will Be Sticking Around

The good news is that the annual publication will be sticking around, hopefully for man years to come.

According to an article on the WABI website, the publication has been purchased and is now being operated by a New York-based company called Farmers' Almanac LLC.

We wish the new owners/operators all the best and can't wait to see the next edition of the almanac.
