Falling Fruit is a community-driven platform for sharing locations of edible plants and other sources of free food. You can discover what others have been harvesting in your area and contribute your own observations. We aspire to provide the world's most comprehensive and open foraging and freegan map. Since our launch in 2013, we have been collecting locations from app users, as well as from hundreds of community, university, and municipal datasets. Today, the map hosts millions of locations in thousands of cities covering thousands of edible types (fruit trees, berries, nuts, herbs, vegetables, mushrooms, dumpsters, and more). Our mobile app offers the same core functionality as our free website, with refinements and native interfaces designed specifically for phones. A small price for the app helps cover the project's costs, and all proceeds go to Falling Fruit, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Boulder, Colorado, USA. Falling Fruit is not associated with Fallen Fruit. Fallen Fruit can be found at fallenfruit.org.

Welcome to the Member’s App for the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast. Please note this is a companion app for existing members only. This app was developed to give our Members an optimized, one-stop experience for accessing episodes and exclusive Member Only content. Features include: downloading episodes for offline listening, saving “Favorite” episodes, “Pinning” specific time-stamps, continuous play and Episode/Blog commenting, and a sleep-timer. Sasquatch Chronicles is a weekly podcast that acts as a safe-haven for witnesses to share their encounters. The show debuted in 2013 on the premise that the existing Bigfoot community was primarily focused on the research and opinion of “experts” while overlooking the value of giving witnesses a voice in the discussion. It is now regarded as the first and most prolific program developed around the framework of giving a stage for regular folks to recount their experiences without pushing any type of outside agenda. Join us every Sunday night as we discuss recent Sasquatch sightings, encounters and talk to Bigfoot eye witnesses. Listen as we speak with researchers, witnesses and investigators to unravel the mystery of Bigfoot. Every week we will also bring you the latest Bigfoot news and information. People are seeing something in the woods and there are too many reports for this to be ignored…
