Los Banos, CA — (November 7, 2025) — The Farmers’ Almanac has announced that its 2026 edition will be its final release, marking the end of more than two centuries in publication.
According to an official statement published on the FarmersAlmanac.com website on November 6, 2025, both the print and online versions of the publication will cease after this year. The announcement states:
“This decision, though difficult, reflects the growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the Almanac in today’s chaotic media environment.”
The release further notes that the final edition, titled Farmers’ Almanac 2026, will serve as the publication’s farewell issue. Access to existing digital content is scheduled to end in December 2025.
Founded in 1818, the Farmers’ Almanac has been published continuously from its headquarters in Lewiston, Maine. Over its 208-year history, it has featured long-range weather forecasts, astronomical data, gardening advice, folklore, and household tips.
The publication states that its forecasts are produced using a proprietary formula that incorporates astronomical and mathematical factors. The Almanac’s forecast system divides the continental United States into seven weather zones and provides long-range predictions covering 16 months at a time.
The company identifies Peter Geiger as Editor and Sandi Duncan as Managing Editor. Both were listed in the 2026 edition and the official closing announcement.
The Farmers’ Almanac has been published by Geiger Press and its parent company, Geiger, Inc., based in Lewiston. No information has been released regarding future products or successor publications.
The Farmers’ Almanac is distinct from The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a separate publication founded in 1792 and based in Dublin, New Hampshire, which continues to operate and has announced its own 2026 edition.
The Farmers’ Almanac’s official statement describes the 2026 volume as “the end of an amazing era,” closing one of the longest-running continuous publications in American history.
