The Farmers' Almanac has been publishing for more than 200 years, but now it has announced it will release its final publication.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future,” said the publication's editor, Sandi Duncan, in a statement Thursday, Nov. 6
"We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and grateful to our loyal staff, readers, contributors, and partners who have supported us through the years,” Duncan stated. “Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, its spirit will live on in the values it championed: simplicity, sustainability, and connection to nature.”
Here's what to know about the Farmers' Almanac's final publication.
