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 hours drive from most parts of St. Louis (see our directions page)
The farm has been owned and operated by our family for over 150 years and we represent the fourth generation. Our first orchards and vineyards were planted in 1969 on what had been a grain and livestock farm.
We offer "a taste of history" along with seasonal fruit and vegetables and good things made in our farm kitchen. Come visit our market in the century old timber framed barn which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Besides the items available in the market you can pick your own apples in September and October.
Please browse our web site and come visit us soon.

What's Available Now?
We are now closed for the season and will reopen here at the farm on July 1.
We will be at the St. Louis Community Farmers Market on December 13 and January 10 with apples, cider, apple butter, preserves and gift baskets. The market is located at St. John's Episcopal Church, 3664 Arsenal Street, just west of Grand near Mokabe's. There will also be a winter market at the Maplewood Farmers Market on November 22.
Our apple butter is available at all Dierberg's Markets, Local Harvest Grocery and the Olde Town Spice Shop in St. Charles.
Look for our online catalog of preserves and apple butter coming this winter.
We thank all of you for making 2008 our best year ever.
