Vermont Almanac

Vermont Almanac is a 288-page, 7×10-inch book, now available in digital edition format. Our first volume was published in December 2020; subsequent volumes are published annually each December. All are available through ISSUU (as digital editions) and in print form through our website and in indie stores throughout Vermont. The Almanac is organized by month and provides a year’s worth of stories, data, illustrations, and photography. In this sense, Vermont Almanac frames time: when you’re wondering what year the forest tent caterpillar infestation was, or if deer season 2020 was the snowy one or the mild one, you’ll have a record to consult. But each volume does more than look back; it also introduces readers to the people who inspire hope for the future of the land we all share. The farmers, loggers, conservationists, homesteaders, scientists, hunters – in short, the “doers” – who are preserving and pioneering a rural way of life in an increasingly urbanized culture. Our goal is for Vermont Almanac to bring together the many individuals and organizations in Vermont whose mission and purpose falls within the land ethic we live by – one that combines economic vitality with environmental stewardship and the values of rural life. We believe that Vermont Almanac is a publication that could (and should) have existed a century ago. We’re proud to have brought the concept to life for those living and working in Vermont today.
