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 Apples
Centennial Farms has a very small apple crop this year because of a severe spring freeze. We will have pick your own apples on only a few weekends, starting on Saturday, September 2. Apple butter, preserves, unpasteurized honey, salsa and other items will be available in our market. Our playground has been updated with new attractions. There will be a $5.00 admission charge for the playground again this year.
The pumpkin crop should be good with the recent rains and we will start pick your own the middle of September.
