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.

Blackberries at Centennial Farms
Blackberries are ripe! Centennial Farms is now open for pick your own of our sweet, thornless Triple Crown blackberries. The berries grow in rows on a trellis so are easy to pick.
Due to heavy rain, the berries are ripening slowly and there will be limited availability this weekend. Please call ahead to check on availability.
Hours for pick your own will be Tuesday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 to 4:00. We will have some picked blackberries available in the market in pint and quart containers. Please call if you want several quarts, 636-228-4338.
