The Other Almanac is a reimagining of The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the oldest continuous print publication in the US. The original project is a mix of old wisdom, garden advice, little poems, jokes, how-to recipes, calendars, weather predictions and more. Although it’s advertised as “for everyone”, it’s limited culturally, and has historically catered to rural white American farmers.

With this new imagining, The Other Almanac still contains small wisdoms, articles, tips, calendars, and star guides, but it is filled with words and art from professors, farmworkers, adult industry workers, tattoo artists, urban geographers, medicine makers, incarcerated poets, climate activists, astrologers, midwives, and more.

The 2022 edition is conceived of the first of many Other Almanacs to come, with the goal to make a yearly and financially accessible publication that can be carried in gas stations, bookstores, delis, museums, community centers, gardening stores, supermarkets and more

Join us for a launch event with contributor readings, refreshments and on-site astrology.
