Get off the computer and find some free fruit!

Know any 811ers in the neighborhood? Don't be a hog - share your findings!

This group is to help us all find free and amazing fruit. And I'm telling you - not only does it taste better when it's free, it usually tastes much better because you get to pick the ripest ones! As a forager - you'll save money, almost always get organic, get some extra sun, meet some folks, have some excitement, find rare varieties, and learn how to get the ripest fruit of the bunch! Peaches will be fuzzier, grapefruit will be unbelievably sweet, and if you can find some amber oranges - you'll be in heaven!

Share your stories, questions and desires of finding some grub!

On my side, I take my breakfast under a mulberry tree these days, stopping on my way while commuting to work by bike. So yummy! Such a great feeling of unity with Nature!

I've foraged blueberries, apples, pears and raspberries up here in the Northeast. My goal is to eventually migrate to the tropics and get busy with some serious foraging.

I get most of my produce from Costco. I live in Tempe, Arizona. Is there a cheaper place. There must be. There are orange trees everywhere with them falling off the tree and wasting.
