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 hours drive from most parts of St. Louis (see our directions page)

The farm has been owned and operated by our family for over 150 years and we represent the fourth generation. Our first orchards and vineyards were planted in 1969 on what had been a grain and livestock farm.

We offer “a taste of history” along with seasonal fruit and vegetables and good things made in our farm kitchen. Come visit our market in the century old timber framed barn which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Besides the items available in the market you can pick your own apples in September and October.

Please browse our web site and come visit us soon.

Our market is now closed for the season. We will open again here at the farm on July 1, 2010.
