An annual that echoes The Old Farmer’s Almanac. The Other Almanac is fun, fact-filled and fabulously beautiful, with a quirkily progressive and environment friendly take on the coming year.
A sparkling new take on an age-old publication. The Other Almanac?
brings together young writers, artists and activists who contribute
lively writing and art about environmentalism, gardening, recipes,
folklore, seasonal savvy, and off-the-beaten-track entertainments, all
presented in brilliant color and eye-popping design.
Among the pieces featured in the 2027 edition are:
- Obituaries for languages, technologies, plants, and animals lost in 2026—including a farewell to New York City’s MetroCard
- A data visualization of NYC 311 calls, featuring some of the city’s strangest requests
- Images and stories of unusual and historic objects uncovered by a Central Park groundskeeper
- Essays on underground fungi, soil health, and the hidden ecological systems shaping food and farming
- A moon calendar, flower bloom and fruiting calendars, seasonal recipes, and a phonology chart for frog sounds
