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.

Apple Picking Has Ended – Pumpkins Still Available!
Apple picking has officially come to an end for the season here at Centennial Farms. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the orchard with us this year—we loved seeing so many of you making memories among the trees!
But the fall fun isn’t over yet—our pumpkin patch is still open and ready for you to find the perfect one for carving, decorating, or baking. And don’t forget to always check our Facebook page for the most accurate and up-to-date information before your visit.
