The Farmers' Almanac then chose Kenneth Franklin, a master scientist and astronomer with the Hayden Planetarium in New York City. He was a man with much weather experience. Currently, the Farmers' Almanac weather predictions are still calculated by Caleb Weatherbee, a real person, whose identity is kept a secret, as is the formula. Today, as in the past, the Farmers' Almanac is a part of American everyday life, culture, and tradition. City folks, as well as country farmers, prize the Farmers' Almanac highly.
People still consult it as frequently as did generations past.
Set in a nostalgic theme, the 2001 Farmers' Almanac remains filled with entertaining short stories, good cooking, fun, facts, forecasts, timely household tips, calendars for fishing and of course gardening. After all, nearly everybody is a farmer at heart. With offices located in Lewiston, Maine, the Farmers' Almanac is recognized worldwide and can be found throughout the U.S. and Canada. It's sold in supermarkets, drugstores, bookstores and in many of the top retail chain stores. The Farmers' Almanac, Farmers' Almanac Sampler Calendar, and Norman Rockwell Calendar and other products are also available on-line through our Farmers' Almanac Store .
