The 2022 Farmers’ Almanac, a publication that started back in 1818, hits store shelves this week and contains 184 pages of helpful tips, calendars, and guides. It also features weather forecasts for the next 16 months, plus useful advice on ways to take cues from nature to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
“Today’s readers want easy-to-follow ideas on ways to live in harmony with nature,” shares editor Pete Geiger, Philom., adding, “we encourage readers to take time to head outdoors and reconnect with the environment by growing their own food, shopping locally, and using natural remedies whenever possible.”
But even though “farmers” is in the title, the publication reaches far beyond them. The Almanac and its readers have evolved. No longer does the Farmers’ Almanac contain husbandry tips for farm animals, but it does suggest the best days to cut your hair (and lawn) to increase growth, quit a bad habit, grow basil, and brew beer.
The Farmers’ Almanac is not all about calendars and charts. This edition also contains feel-good and enjoyable reads, such as a feature on extraordinary dogs with fascinating and lifesaving jobs, a look at what people did before soap, historical figures who turned adversity into opportunity, and the meaning behind the “dog days of summer,” to name a few.
“The Famers’ Almanac has a unique way of blending the wisdom of the past in an easy-to-read format that appeals to today’s savvy reader,” shares managing editor Sandi Duncan, Philom. “We strongly believe that this newest edition will inform, delight, and entertain people of all ages.”
