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.

More Apple Varieties Ready for Picking
There are a lot of Fuji apples left for pick your own this weekend. In the barn we will be selling Arkansas Black apples. Arkansas Black is a dark red, tart heirloom apple that will keep for months.
The price this year is the same as last year, $1.90 per pound. The bounce pad and other new features at the playground have been very popular. Hayrides around the orchard give you an overview of this beautiful area. A food truck has kettle corn and lunch items.
The pumpkin crop is also exceptionally large this year. Besides the pick your own orange variety in the field we have white, yellow and many unusual pumpkins and squash.
Centennial Farms will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 – 5:00 through the end of October. There is an admission charge of $5.00 for everyone over 2 years picking apples. There is no charge for those just purchasing items in the barn.
