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.

Last of the Summer Blackberries
There are still good blackberries for picking but July 30-31 will be the last weekend for blackberries. The heat and drought have shortened the season this year. You can pick your own or buy already picked. We are open Saturday and Sunday, but you can pick other days and hours if you call first. We will have picked berries in the market as well as our own raw honey, preserves and apple butter. Please call if you want several quarts of blackberries.
