Forecast: drama with a chance of tears
A Fond Farewell from Farmers' Almanac
Fans mourn a 200-year goodbye while skeptics ask why and mystics bless by moonlight
TLDR: The Farmers’ Almanac ends after its 2026 edition, closing a 200-year run. Comments swing from sadness and confusion (it’s not the Old Farmer’s Almanac) to a hot take that the reason is “we don’t want to anymore,” while a linked press note cites financial strain—and moonlit memes abound.
The Farmers’ Almanac is calling it after 200+ years, with a final edition in 2026, and the comment section instantly turned into a campfire of feelings. First order of business: identity crisis. As shervinafshar pointed out, this isn’t the Old Farmer’s Almanac—different book, different team—yet the grief is real. Longtime readers like mtillman reminisced about the home tips and planting advice, while others soaked in the nostalgia of moon phases, “Best Days,” and granddad’s weather wisdom. Then came the drama. yieldcrv dropped the hottest take of the thread: maybe it’s just “we don’t want to anymore,” a mic-drop reason they say they use to run their own ventures. Cue debate. thorum showed up with receipts, linking the official explanation—financial challenges of producing and distributing in today’s chaos—which calmed some, and fired up others arguing whether print culture is doomed or just underfunded. Meanwhile, tylerchilds started a meme-worthy ritual: a bowl of water in moonlight to bless the storytellers. Folks vowed to snag the 2026 copy, tell the kids how granddad swore by it, and screenshot the site before it goes offline in December 2025. The vibe? A bittersweet send-off fueled by mourning, mystery, and moonlit humor.
