Recipe by Marianne K. Miller from Simply in Season, editors Mary Beth Lind & Cathleen Hockman-Wert & Tested in Debbie's and also Brambleberry Farm's Kitchen
Serves 4

My husband and I first tried this when we attended an end of the season party at our CSA at Brambleberry Farm which now provides eggs and produce for Lost River Market & Deli. It's loaded with local, fair trade ingedients! (CSA is Community Supported Agriculture...more info at the end of this recipe.)

1 pound locally grown Swiss chard, Kale or Spinach (chopped) grown at Brambleberry Farm or Bishop Homegrown Farm
4 eggs (beaten) locally produced at Brambleberry Farms, Tater Road Farms or Zehnder Farm
1 cup milk
1 cup Swissland Swiss Cheese produced in Berne, Indiana Swiss cheese or other cheese produced by Kenny Farm Cheese produced in Kentucky (shredded) (I sometimes substitute Asiago cheese.)
1 cup bread (cubed)
½ cup locally grown green onions (sliced) or 2 cloves locally grown garlic cloves (minced)
¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
Cook greens thoroughly and drain. Combine remaining ingredients with cooked greens. Pour into a greased 2 quart baking dish. Cover and bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees until set, about 25-30 minutes.

What is a CSA: Many farms offer produce subscriptions, where buyers receive a weekly or monthly basket of produce, flowers, fruits, eggs, milk, coffee, or any sort of different farm products.
A CSA, (for Community Supported Agriculture) is a way for the food buying public to create a relationship with a farm and to receive a weekly basket of produce. By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become "members" (or "shareholders," or "subscribers") of the CSA. Most CSA farmers prefer that members pay for the season up-front, but some farmers will accept weekly or monthly payments. Some CSAs also require that members work a small number of hours on the farm during the growing season.
A CSA season typically runs from late spring through early fall. The number of CSAs in the United States was estimated at 50 in 1990, and has since grown to over 1000.
