The Other Almanac 2027

Echoing The Old Farmer's Almanac, this annual offers a fun, fact-filled, and beautifully designed guide to the coming year through a quirky, progressive, and environment-friendly lens.

A sparkling new take on an age-old publication, The Other Almanac brings together contributions by writers, artists, and scientists on topics including environmentalism, botany, grief, seasonal savvy, and off-the-beaten-track curiosities, all presented in brilliant color and eye-popping design.

Highlights of the 2026 edition include a guide to foraging in NYC, checklists for signs of the seasons, a tide chart for NYC, obituaries for recently extinct animals and plants, and a list of objects left on the moon.

Highlights of the 2027 edition include:

• 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
