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.

Everyone’s Favorite Apples
Everyone’s favorite apples ripen this week and the next few. Besides Jonathan we will have Golden Delicious, Jonagold and others. 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.
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.
