The Fink Family Farm was established in 1911 in what was known as the Mims area of Lexington County.

Since the year of its establishment, Fink Farm has been a working farm.

This past weekend, on Saturday, June 20, 2026, a 115-year anniversary celebration was held by the Fink family for the farm at Samaria Baptist Church.

The Fink family had two tables with historical information and pictures of their ancestors who lived and worked during the early years on the farm. They included copies of original newspaper clippings on the deaths of Robert Fink and G.A. Fink. There were also photos of family members of the Fink family and information about where they lived in Lexington County. Prior to enjoying a potluck supper, members of the Fink family and guests enjoyed looking at the memorabilia and talking to the family.

Afterwards, Curtis Fink, son of Royce and Ann Fink, who currently own the farm, said he was going to enlighten the family's guests with stories, pictures, maps and recipes from years ago. Curtis Fink works for Michelin Tire, and his father, Royce Fink, is retired from there. Curtis said his father is the family patriarch and is a Vietnam War combat veteran.

Parents of the Fink family were James Franklin Fink, born in 1842 and died in 1934; his wife Mary Jan Smith Fink, born in 1845 and died in 1909; siblings were Gary Letcher Fink, born in 1869 and died in 1942; Minnie Arundel Fink, born in 1871 and died in 1875; Marie Fink Shealy was born in 1873 and died in 1963; Van Fink was born in 1874 and died in 1935; Una Lee Fink Shealy was born in 1879 and died in 1967.

Curtis Fink is the great-great-nephew of George Adolphus Fink, the owner of the “Lexington Flag,” which was the second newspaper before Lexington became a town. Curtis Fink found George Adolphus Fink’s great-great-granddaughter, Sarah Suggs, online. He said she has supplied the Fink family with the only known photo of George Adolphus Fink. She also supplied the Fink family with more historical information and attended the 115th celebration. Suggs is a communications consultant and is the president of the Barnesville, Lamar County Historical Society in Georgia.

The farm is located in the Batesburg-Leesville area of Lexington County.
