'Where The Bulldogs All Have Rubber Teeth, The Hens Lay Soft-boiled Eggs'

"In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

"In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

"In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains . . ."

- Folk song first recorded in 1928 by Harry McClintock

Sweet Sage Bakery, Organic Artisan Bread

Sweet Sage Bakery is at the Durham Farmer's Market on the Town Green on Thursday, 3 to 6 p.m. (rain or shine, but get there early for the best selections - they do sell out!)

Just the display of artisan breads is a work of art.

Kathy Duffy, owner of Sweet Sage, goes to great pains to find quality organic ingredients and create the best products she can. (And since she once owned her own organic farm, so she knows what she is looking for.)

You can also find Sweet Sage Bakery products at the Urban Oaks Organic Farm in New Britain on Friday, 3 to 6 p.m. Located on 22 Oak St., the farm stand is open year round with a full line of certified organic produce, baked goods and more. (Hours are Friday, 3 to 6 p.m.)

In June, visit the farm market at the The Dudley Farm, located on Durham Road at the northeast corner of Routes 77 and 80, Guilford. The market is open Saturday, 9:00 to 12:30 (starts in June) and features produce, baked goods and crafts from more than 25 vendors, including milk and cheese, shellfish, honey, jam, plants, flowers, vegetables, breads, handspun yarns, jewelry, handmade baskets and cards.
