The Old Farmer's Almanac is North America's most popular reference guide and oldest continuously published periodical. It's history is as rich and diverse as the Almanac itself. Under the guiding hand of its first editor, Robert B. Thomas, the premiere issue of The Old Farmer's Almanac was published in 1792 during George Washington's first term as president. Although many other almanacs were being published at that time, Thomas's upstart almanac became an immediate success. In fact, by the second year, circulation had tripled from 3,000 to 9,000. Back then, the Almanac cost only six pence (about nine cents).

According to the Farmer’s Almanac tradition, when the moon is in the right phase and place in the zodiac, it is believed that activities will be more fruitful and lead to improved results. Why not give it a try, or call us to do chores for you.
