After 200 years, the Farmers’ Almanac bets on a digital reboot and new owner
January 30, 2026
The Farmers’ Almanac isn’t going out of business after all, but it is leaving Maine for the big city. The venerable publication is beloved by farmers and gardeners and best known for its weather forecasts. The almanac has been acquired by New York City-based Unofficial Networks. That means it’ll stay in business despite announcing in November that its 208-year run was coming to an end. Unofficial Networks and Peter Geiger, the longtime publisher of the almanac, announced the acquisition on Wednesday. The move establishes Farmers Almanac LLC as a New York-based company.
