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.

Fuji Apples and Pumpkins Galore!
Our orchard is still open with an abundance of gorgeous, ripe Fuji apples—just waiting to be picked. At just $2.35 per pound, it’s the perfect time to fill your baskets with this crisp and sweet fall favorite. Prefer to skip the picking? No problem! We’ve got pre-picked apples, including a variety of types, fresh and ready in our barn.
And that’s not all—our pumpkin patch is bursting with large pumpkins perfect for carving, decorating, or baking. Whether you’re prepping for Halloween or just looking to add some festive fall flair to your home, you’ll find exactly what you need.
Don’t forget to hop on one of our scenic hayrides to the orchard! For $5 per person (ages 3 and up), you get access to the hayride, our family-friendly playground, and all the orchard fun you can handle. And remember, there’s no admission fee to visit our farm market, where you can stock up on apples, pumpkins, and more fall treats.
Come out to Centennial Farms and celebrate the beauty of the season with us! We can’t wait to see you and help you create wonderful fall memories.
