Vermont Almanac
Vermont Almanac is a 288-page, 7×10-inch book. Our first volume was published in December 2020; volumes two through four were published annually in each following December. All are available through this site and independent 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.
