'Modern Farmer' Magazine Is a Sleeker, Chicer Farmer's Almanac

The first story published by Modern Farmer magazine includes a recipe for something called "Burn You Down to the Ground Superhot Chile Brownies." Which is to say: The Old Farmer’s Almanac this is not, though both publications do express a great shared interest in the weather.

Founded by Monocle and T: The New York Times Style Magazine alum Ann Marie Gardner, Modern Farmer is a new print quarterly and website dedicated to the people and issues around where our food comes from. The content is global, the tone smart, and the aesthetic clean and visually driven (Gardner brought on Luise Stauss, former photo editor at The New York Times Magazine, as photo director and tapped Brooklyn-based MGMT design to help conceptualize the magazine’s distinctive look).
