The Farmers’ Almanac isn’t dead. It’s getting a digital reboot under a new owner

The Farmers' Almanac, a publication cherished for its weather predictions, will continue operating despite a previous announcement of its closure. Unofficial Networks, a digital publisher specializing in outdoor recreation, has acquired the almanac. The almanac, founded in 1818, uses a proprietary formula to forecast weather based on celestial cycles. The new owner plans to revitalize the publication with a new website offering daily content and a print edition. The sale was prompted by a desire to preserve an important part of American heritage. The deal emphasizes preserving the almanac's legacy, according to both Unofficial Networks and the previous publisher. The Farmers' Almanac, once based in Maine, will now relocate to New York City. While its weather predictions have been subject to scientific scrutiny, the almanac has a loyal following. The previous publisher expressed confidence in the new owner's ability to maintain the almanac's traditions. Unofficial Networks was established by Tim Konrad in 2006, and its acquisition will ensure the Farmers' Almanac continues for future generations.
