Historic Farmers’ Almanac Saved From Closure
Clear Facts
- The Farmers’ Almanac has been purchased by Farmers’ Almanac LLC, a New York-based company, preventing its closure.
- The publication was founded in 1818 and has been in continuous production for over two centuries.
- New owner Tim Konrad pledged to protect the Almanac’s heritage and tradition for future generations.
The Farmers’ Almanac, a staple in American homes for generations, was acquired by new ownership this week, preserving its ongoing publication.
This move saves the 208-year-old almanac from closure previously announced for after its 2026 edition due to financial difficulties.
“It felt wrong to stand by while an irreplaceable piece of our national heritage disappeared.”
Tim Konrad, the new owner, emphasized the importance of continuity, working alongside the dedicated staff to retain the Almanac’s trusted content such as weather predictions, gardening advice, astronomy, and practical wisdom.
“The Farmers’ Almanac is more than just a book—it’s a living link to generations of knowledge and curiosity about the natural world.”
Peter Geiger, Editor Emeritus, welcomed the change, expressing trust that Konrad would honor the tradition of the publication.
“An American tradition continues!”
Geiger added appreciation for finding the right steward and showed faith in the future stewardship of the iconic periodical.
