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
Arkansas Black, Granny Smith and Winesap apples are now ready for picking. Many other varieties are also available, including Mutsu, Jonathan, Golden Delicious, Jonagold and Fuji.
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.
We will also be opening the pumpkin patch this weekend. We have black, white, yellow, pink and blue pumpkins as well as the regular orange ones. We also have Daisy, Autumn Wings and Gourdzilla gourds. Gourdzilla is a large, black, snake-shaped gourd.
Centennial Farms is open on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 – 5:00. 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.
