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 Are Now Ripe
We’re excited to announce that Fuji apples are now available! Along with Fuji, our Golden Delicious apples are still ripe for the picking. Whether you’re planning to bake a fresh apple pie, make homemade applesauce, or simply enjoy a sweet, crisp apple right off the tree, Centennial Farms has you covered.
To make your apple-picking adventure even more enjoyable, we provide hayrides that take you right to the orchard. Admission is just $5 per person (ages 3 and up), which includes the hayride, playground, and access to our scenic apple orchard for the pick-your-own experience. Of course, if you’re just stopping by to shop for pre-picked apples or our homemade preserves and apple butter, there’s no admission charge.
Bring your family and friends to spend a beautiful autumn day at the orchard, enjoy a hayride, and pick fresh, locally-grown Fuji and Golden Delicious apples. Centennial Farms is the perfect place to create memories and savor the tastes of fall!
