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.

Last Chance for Fall Fun at Centennial Farms!
As we wind down the season here at Centennial Farms, we want to thank all of our amazing customers for making this fall one to remember! This weekend, October 26-27, will be our final weekend of the year, so don’t miss your chance to visit before we close.
There are still plenty of delicious Fuji apples ripe and ready for picking in the orchard. At just $2.35 per pound, it’s the perfect opportunity to stock up on these crisp, sweet apples before the season ends.
Our pumpkin patch has been a hit this year, and there are now very few pumpkins left. If you’re hoping to grab one for your fall decorating, this weekend is your last chance!
As always, we’ll be offering hayrides to the orchard, a perfect way to soak up the last of the autumn beauty. For this weekend only admission is free for all ages and includes access to the hayride, playground, and orchard. If you just want to stop by the farm market, there’s no admission fee.
Thank you again for being a part of Centennial Farms this season. We hope to see you this weekend as we celebrate the end of another successful year!
