Dear Almanac Lover,
There are almanacs … and then there’s The Old Farmer’s Almanac. And as you know, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is the one that defines all others. The one that needs little introduction to weather watchers and astronomy fans like you.
In fact, people like you – who relish every single detail of the weather, food and farming, the phases of the moon, holidays and the calendar, everything about the Heavens, the tides, and much more – are the ones I want to reach out to. You’re the perfect candidate to be invited to join an exclusive new club of like-minded enthusiasts. Please consider my offer to you today, to claim your exclusive and prestigious Charter Membership in The Old Farmer’s Almanac Best Value Club —and it’s only $29.97 for a full year’s membership when you join today—Half-Off the regular price!
I’ll tell you more about that in a few moments (yes, there’s a reason it’s called the “best value club”). But first I want to share with you all the exciting goodies you get as a Charter Member of this new club. | | First, The Old Farmer’s 2019 Almanac itself: | Your Charter Membership gives you all the elements of a true almanac—a “calendar of the heavens” and a “time capsule of the year” for 2019.
Since 1792, The Old Farmer’s Almanac has been trusted and enjoyed by folks from all walks of life—those who grow their own food depend on the planting dates; home cooks, gardeners, and folks hungry for something quick and delicious to fix depend on the recipes; and just about everybody checks on the Moon phases and the sunrise and sunset times … as well as the weather forecasts … to know what to expect for any given day, week, month, or season. |

People always ask how and why our Almanac has lasted—and continues to be a best seller. The answer is simple: We stay true to the original mission of founder Robert B. Thomas, who declared in an early edition, “Our main endeavour is to be useful, with a pleasant degree of humor.”
We believe that, especially in today’s trying times, finding humor and enjoyment in daily life is important and can be uplifting, and we hope you like our light-hearted fun and find the joy in chuckling at our witty and inspiring words.
This will make you smile, too: Every edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac is fresh, new, and designed to make the year one of the best ever. How do we do that? With entertaining and informative articles. For example: | | Want to know about the most fun and fascinating trends for 2019? Here’s a hint: We’ll be exercising in the grocery stores, we’ll be drinking banana milk, shopping in stores with “quiet hours,” and decorating with “scratch-and-sniff” wallpaper. Are you a vegetable gardener or want to be one? Many gardeners consider the Almanac their most valuable tool, so this year, for all of you trying to grow food we’ve got foolproof advice that promises a harvest the first year and every one thereafter. Perhaps you grow flowers—or want to: In the 2019 Almanac, you’ll learn which flowers are edible, when to pick them, and how to use them (e.g., pick apple blossoms in late spring and sprinkle them onto a Waldorf salad, all summer use impatiens as a garnish). | But that’s just the beginning!

- Timetables and advice for spotting meteor showers, bright stars, conjunctions, and other fascinating astronomical events
