ut on Rusty Armadillo Farm in Hodges, Tracy McCauley is always busy. There are goats to feed, eggs to collect, micro-greens to harvest and fruit trees to nurture. There is goat’s milk waiting to be turned into soap and other products, and there’s 61 sprawling acres waiting to be transformed by the McCauleys’ agri-tourism dreams. In her eagerness to move from project to project, McCauley describes herself as someone who has a hard time sitting down. “I always have a hundred projects going on, and when I don’t, I’m thinking about projects, and I have a to-do list, and even at night I can’t shut my brain off.”
