The Old Farmer’s Almanac has been making every day “useful, with a pleasant degree of humor” since 1792, and, with the 2026 edition, it continues this tradition in its inimitable fashion. Trusted by generations from all walks of life for its honesty and accuracy, the Almanac delivers fun facts, predictions, feature articles, and advice across many interest areas to readers who live—or aspire to live—close to the earth, with the intent of helping them to make informed decisions based on time-honored wisdom. As a calendar of the heavens, it provides detailed daily astronomical data (Sun/Moon rise/set times, length of day), tide times, and planet/star sightings for every sky watcher, from novice to expert. As a calendar of the year, it presents annual and seasonal events, holidays, anniversaries, and timely trivia, as well as astrological “Best Days” and cycles. As a time capsule of the year, it contains cultural trends; weather forecasts and conditions; articles on interesting topics such as gardening, home arts and remedies, amusements and contests, history, husbandry, nature, cooking and recipes, folklore, pets, and sports; and much more for the curious and the clever.

Long recognized as North America’s most beloved and best-selling annual, this versatile “little yellow book” is often imitated yet never equaled. It’s an American icon that instills in readers a feeling of connection to the history of North America and its people.

This paperback classic edition of the 2026 Almanac is distinguished by the hole in the upper left corner so that it can be conveniently hung on a hook or nail in the kitchen, greenhouse, barn—or wherever this indispensable guide to living well every day will be handiest!

If you are traveling it will tell you where to be at what time or tide.

I use it for many things and I have bought one or two each year to use in my car, at home or traveling. I've used it overseas to determine tides by just knowing the time zone difference and current tide at Boston. Although it won't tell how good the Oysters are in Scotland. But I can tell you that they are as good as those North of Cape Cod. It's the cold Atlantic Water. The Almanac also tells of celestial happenings and can be used as an aid to Navigation.

I recently picked up a copy of The Old Farmer's Almanac,

I recently picked up a copy of The Old Farmer's Almanac, and I have to say, it’s quite a treasure! Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, but I've found it to be such a delightful mix of practical information and charming stories.

The weather forecasts are surprisingly accurate, which is helpful for planning my gardening and outdoor activities. I also love the gardening tips and recipes—they're simple and really easy to follow. Each year, I look forward to the new edition because it feels like a little tradition in our household.

What I enjoy most, though, are the historical anecdotes and folklore sprinkled throughout. It's like taking a step back in time and learning about how farmers lived and worked with nature. It’s a nice break from the digital overload of today. Overall, if you're looking for something unique and useful, I definitely recommend giving The Old Farmer's Almanac a try!
