The Story
Ozark Mill's 5th Anniversary
September 25 & 26, 2026
Join us as we celebrate five years of The Ozark Mill Restaurant with a two-day festival filled with live music, local makers, delicious food, and family-friendly fun. While the historic mill has stood on the banks of the Finley River since 1833, we're celebrating five years since it reopened as the heart of Finley Farms in September 2021.
