The Other Almanac

The Other Almanac is a reimagining of The Old Farmer's Almanac.

It’s time for a new almanac - one that is deep, meaningful, and bridges across the urban/rural divide in the USA.

The original Almanac is the oldest continuously printed publication in the US. It comprises a popular mix of ancient wisdom, garden advice, poems, jokes, how-to’s, recipes, and calendars. It is, however, still tailored to its traditional audience: largely rural, white and conservative. It eschews stances on anything overtly progressive, be it political, ecological, or social.

The Other Almanac puts right these omissions. Whilst retaining the quirkiness and liveliness of the original. Its pages are filled with buoyant contributions from climate activists, migrant farmworkers, historians, scientists, sex workers, incarcerated painters, borderland midwives and many more.
