An experiment in local myth-making
WHAT IS IT?
A High-Quality, Print-First Journal Anchored in the Fields, Forests, and Waters of the Piedmont
Inspired by the striking visual format of the print magazines and the adventurous, grounded storytelling of 90s adventure magazines this is an analog space to reconnect with the physical world around us by learning and exploring the natural world through the eyes of our neighbors.
The Land Almanac is about our shared dirt and watersheds and focuses on practical land relationships, nature-based culture, agriculture, and community stewardship. It’s not all serious thought, we believe a key part of being on the land is playing on it just as hard as we care for it. .
We are looking to use science, exploration, and our experiences of nature and land around us to create a unique narrative that helps us feel closer to the land and each other, but does not alienate us from the expansive wonder that is nature.

Our Mission
The fields, forests, and valleys of Pennsylvania hold a cultural identity entirely unique. Our heritage is anchored alongside the mountains, the rivers, the plains, and people who shaped the area. We’re rooted deeply in the land and water that shapes us: The Land Almanac exists to explore this heritage in the present, capturing the new culture being forged today through the art, photography, poetry, and stories of the people who live, work, and recreate on this land.
