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.

Labor Day Weekend
Centennial Farms will be open Sept 3, 4 and Monday the 5th for apple picking from 9:00 – 5:00.
This weekend Jonathan, Empire and Gala can be picked. We have made many improvements to the playground, including a bounce pad and giant spiderweb. We will also be offering hayrides. There will be a food truck with lunch items, funnel cakes and kettle corn.
Because of these improvements, as well as other factors, we are charging an admission of $5.00 for anyone over the age of 2 who wishes to pick apples. There is no admission charge for people just purchasing items in the barn.
