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.
