Their piece of the sky Family pursues agritourism dreams at Rusty Armadillo Farm Story and photos by ALISON JAMES
O
n 61 acres of rural beauty in Hodges, Tracy and Doug McCauley and their children enjoy the peace that comes from finding a place that truly feels like home. It’s a sense of tranquility they want to share with the world. The McCauleys and their adult children, Erik Zorger, 33, and Ashley Todd, 34, hail from Ohio but lived for 12 years in the Florida Keys before making their way to Alabama. Doug first came across the Hodges farm for sale in 2005 – on eBay, of all places – and, with a shared interest in moving to Alabama, he and Tracy pursued buying the farm. Just a few weeks later after a visit to the area, they decided to take the plunge.
