T-Shirt Caption Contest

Nominate a caption for our Kickstarter Reward T-Shirt and win some fun prizes including the new FARMcurious Fermenting Set with ReCAP! There are times when it feels I'm bursting with clever, creative ideas and just lack time to execute them all. Then, there are times when I just can't come up with a pithy line to save my life. That's how I feel right now. We're a few weeks into our Kickstarter campaign for the new FARMcurious Fermenting Set with ReCAP and I have this awesome image for a t-shirt that I'd like to add to the rewards. The trouble is, I can't think of a clever phrase to put on it.
