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.

Pick-Your-Own Apples Starting August 20
Blackberries are finished and Centennial Farms will be closed this weekend, Aug. 13 – 14. We will have the best apple crop in years and will start pick your own with Gala and Ruby Jon on Sat, Aug. 20. Jonathan, Red Delicious and Golden Delicious are usually ripe a week later. We have expanded our playground with a bounce pad and giant spiderweb. In September and October we will also be offering hayrides. With these additional features plus other factors, we will be charging admission in September and October, $3.00 for adults and $5.00 for children. There will be no admission charge in August. Apple butter, preserves, honey and salsa will be available in the market.
