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.

Pick Your Own Pumpkins
Our large pick-your-own pumpkin patch is open for business. We have set up our pumpkin displays and graveyard, and our barn is set up with white, black and orange pumpkins as well as numerous varieties of mini pumpkins and gourds, as well as the popular “snake gourds.” We also have mums, apple butter, preserves and honey from our hives.
The playground has again been expanded and we offer hayrides around the farm. We are open Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 to 5:00. To cover all the increased costs, there is an admission charge of $5.00, excluding children under 2 years.
