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.

Fall Harvest Fun at Centennial Farms
It’s that wonderful time of year again at Centennial Farms, and we’re thrilled to invite you and your family to join us for all the fall festivities! Our family-run farm and orchard has so much to offer this season, including some of the finest apples and pumpkins around.
We’re excited to offer pick-your-own Fuji, Golden Delicious, and Arkansas Black apples this year! Whether you prefer the sweet and crisp taste of Fuji, the classic flavor of Golden Delicious, or the rich, tart bite of Arkansas Black, we’ve got something for everyone. If you’re looking for convenience, we also have several varieties already picked and available in our barn.
Plus, don’t forget about our pumpkin patch, where thousands of pumpkins await! From small to extra-large, we have the perfect one for your fall decorating or jack-o’-lantern needs.
While you’re here, make sure to take a relaxing hayride out to the orchard, a fun and scenic way to experience the beauty of our farm. Admission is just $5 per person for ages 3 and up, and that covers the hayride, access to our playground, and entry to the orchard. As always, there’s no charge to visit the market, where you’ll find fresh apples, pumpkins, and other seasonal delights.
Come out to Centennial Farms and enjoy the simple pleasures of the season. We look forward to welcoming you!
