The New Farmer's Almanac is a revolutionary compendium of the newest and most thoughtful thinking about land and food. Published biennially, this series is essential reading and reference for anyone who shares the idea that food production is due for a shift in power - away from agribusiness and back into the hands of farmers. It is also fascinating lampside reading for anyone who loves poetic literature about the land. -Megan Prelinger, Co-founder of the Prelinger Library and author of Inside the Machine: Art and Invention in the Electronic Age The New Farmer's Almanac points the way forward by contextualizing the past, celebrating resilience and upholding imagination as a powerful force. -Maine Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association Perhaps the greatest difference between The New Farmer's Almanac and its predecessors is in its multiplicity. Instead of having one voice dictate the forecast for the year, The New Farmer's Almanac grows organically from the voices of the farmers that contribute to it. -Bangor Daily News

If you are not yet addicted to the New Farmer's Almanacs, this edition will do it. Reading it from a deep familiarity with Maine and New Mexico, I learned and enjoyed alot about those places, among many others. A marvelous collection of poetry, essays, and images, it will inspire the agricultural and ecological activism for which the Greenhorns are known. -Lucy Lippard, author of Undermining: A Wild Ride Through Land Use, Politics, and Art in the Changing West The New Farmers Almanac offers a much-needed pulse on the reflections and ruminations of land-based people and projects-our challenges, joys, sorrows, and hopes. I always look forward to the Almanac's yearly compilation of art, poetry, and essays from voices old and new. It is heartening to know that there are so many engaged in good, thoughtful, and creative work in the world. -Tao Orion, author of Beyond the War on Invasive Species: A Permaculture Approach to Ecosystem Restoration I love the Greenhorns and their New Farmer's Almanac. The Almanac is a perennial source of inspiration, featuring diverse perspectives and very eclectic information. I recommend it for anyone involved in or aspiring to agrarian adventures or ecological action. -Sandor Ellix Katz, Fermentation Revivalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Fermentation, Wild Fermentation, and Sandor Katz's Fermentation Journeys The New Farmer's Almanac is a revolutionary compendium of the newest and most thoughtful thinking about land and food.

It harkens back to an era of hand-powered platen presses, handwritten letters, and good conversation. A welcome addition to any farmer's or gardener's mantle, or attractively splayed in a beam of sunlight on a summer porch. -Patrick Kiley, Publication Studio
