After more than 200 years, the ‘Farmers’ Almanac’ is shutting down for good
For more than two centuries, the Farmers’ Almanac has been a steady companion to gardeners, farmers, and sky-watchers — a little book of weather lore and practical wisdom passed down through generations. Now, after 207 years, the publication is preparing its final edition. Editors say shifting media habits and the challenges facing print made the decision unavoidable. Loyal readers are already mourning the loss, but the Almanac’s blend of tradition and folk knowledge is likely to live on in the habits, sayings, and stories people continue to share. Grace Snelling with Fast Company has the full story on the final chapter.
