The 200-year-old publication, a popular source of information and entertainment for farmers in Canada and the U.S., announced last fall that it would stop publishing by the end of 2025. However, it will now continue under the new ownership of Tim Konrad, a New York City-based online publisher who operates Unofficial Networks, a news and features site for skiing and outdoor enthusiasts. Financial terms weren’t disclosed, nor did the new owner say whether any of the Almanac’s Canadian print and online content will continue.
Konrad, also a co-founder of maritime and shipping news site GCaptain.com, said the Almanac will for now remain “fully accessible online” and “plans are underway to revive and expand the cherished annual print edition in future volumes.” The Farmers’ Almanac was first published by Jacob Mann of Morristown, N.J. in 1818, and is not to be confused with the Old Farmer’s Almanac, a separate annual journal now operated by Yankee Publishing of New Hampshire.
