Fresh Fruit Free

FallingFruit.org is an international project that shows where the general public can find fruits, vegetables and nuts that are free for the taking. (And yes, it’s all entirely legal.)
A world map that looks like your average Google map, this version is covered with dots representing trees or plants that have produce available for the taking. Click on a dot near your location, and you can zoom in, get a description of the type of fruit/vegetable/nut available and, in many cases, a link to that particular species’ profile on the U.S. Department of Agriculture website. You’ll also get information on the best season for each individual plant and advice on how best to reach the site where it’s located.
