Either you are this person or you know this person! That’s our theory! Printed on shirts made in Haiti by our friends at GoEx.
The Story:
One day last spring I was standing outside talking to our most recent guests at the Farm. They were interesting women who were also very interested in us and our life path. So we talked. And the more questions they asked, the more animated I got. Like, ya know how you might get when someone genuinely wants to know the wheres and the whys of your life.
We wrapped up the conversation and i bounced back into the kitchen where Beaver was working. “Honey” i said to the partner of my life and true love, “I AM A LOT”.
He looked at me with a bit of a knowing smile. He nodded. “Yes. Yes you are”.
So for all of us who know we are, this shirt is to celebrate the fact that some of us just ARE A LOT.
For the rest of the crowd, who patiently, and graciously love us, this shirt is a great gift for the A LOTs in your life.

The Details:
This is a relaxed fit, unisex, short sleeve, triblend, sustainable, fair trade tee! The eco-friendly fabric includes Repreve recycled polyester (five recycled water bottles in each tee!) and is a slightly heavier weight than many triblends, keeping this shirt looking great through many washes!
