Welcome to Centennial Farms and Orchard
We are located in the historic town of Augusta, Missouri in southwestern St. Charles County. Our farm is less than an hour's drive from most parts of St. Louis (see our directions page)
The farm has been owned and operated by our family since 1854. We represent the fourth generation and our grandson Gabe Wright, who manages the farm, represents the sixth generation. Our first orchards were planted in 1969 on what had been a grain and livestock farm.
We offer a "taste of history" along with seasonal fruit and good things made in our farm kitchen. Come visit our market in the 160-year old timber framed barn which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Final Weekend at Centennial Farms: Fuji Apples, Pumpkins & Fall Fun!
It’s hard to believe, but this weekend, October 26-27, marks the last days Centennial Farms will be open this year. We want to thank all of you for an incredible season, and we hope to see you one more time before we close!
In the orchard, there are still scattered Fuji apples ready for picking, perfect for a sweet, crisp treat to carry you into the colder months. At just $2.35 per pound, it’s a great opportunity to fill your bags with one of fall’s best flavors!
If you’re on the hunt for a pumpkin, a few are left, though they’re going fast—perfect for any last-minute fall decorating or baking plans!
Please note: Due to limited staff, there will be no hayrides on Sunday, October 27, as we do not have a driver available. Saturday hayrides will run as usual, and admission is free for access to the orchard, playground, and all the seasonal fun.
Thank you for being a part of Centennial Farms this season! We hope to see you this weekend for one last celebration of the fall.
