| Elliemae and friends was created back in 1999 in beautiful Northern Idaho. Due to the harsh climate in the North west, Sylvia Davis (owner) decided to move all of her animal family cross country to the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. With her goal of working through all the seasons, her mission is to share the wonderful world of animals through education and rehabilitation. Most of the animals used in Elliemae and here on the farm are rescues. Some have come from severe dire situations and have been totally rehabilitated. In addition to being a "mobile" service a beautiful creekside picnic area here on our farm is available for your party or event. |
| Our farm is in the town of Thurmond. We have a 25 mile radius range for all parties and events. Additional mileage rates @ $1.50 per mile ( one way) |
| Please consider the weather when booking your event. The heat and humidity here in the south during the summer months can be brutal on the animals. We suggest having your party here on our farm during hot summer months. Trailering the animals may not be possible if it is to hot. We also suggest booking your party or event as late in the evening as possible. THANK YOU!!!!! |
