The Other Almanac: Calculated for the Year 2025

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 2025 edition are:
Rich data visualizations of forest fires, ice melt, and bodies found in bogs 
A list of objects left on the moon 
A checklist for signs of spring in NYC 
Herbal tips for every month from Anima Mundi herbals 
Recipes for making seasonal food from foraged edibles
A column on birding throughout the seasons in NYC
A eulogy for Flaco (the Central Park owl) 
A history of the iconic "Happy to Serve You" deli coffee cup
A photo essay about the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo 
A look at an NYC feud between two fish spots on Orchard Beach
Obituaries for recently extinct animals and plants
