Fallen Fruit
Free food is available at every time of the year on the streets of Los Angeles. says the Fallen Fruit Project, which is mapping and promoting the harvest of fruit that hangs over public land in L.A. Besides nabbing free food, the group outlines other benefits of public harvesting. Public fruit is more efficient to grow than farmed fruit because it eliminates the cost of transport. Since it is not a mono-crop, as in an orchard of a single variety of apple, there are far less pests and less chemicals required. A further irony is that most of the public fruit in Los Angles is organic, blessed by neglect.
