The 2026 Old Farmer's Almanac - Classic Paperback

Pre-order now to be among the first to receive the 2026 Almanac in August.

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!
