Falling Fruit is the map that brings together nature lovers, economy enthusiasts, and those in search of great deals. This collaborative project catalogs fruit trees open to the public all around the world. The idea is simple: avoid waste by gathering ripe fruits that have fallen to the ground, often left abandoned. With just one click, you can discover where these edible treasures are hidden, and you can even contribute by adding your own finds.
Free (and local) fruits just a stone’s throw from your home
In Strasbourg and its surroundings, 4 hidden spots are waiting for the curious and the foodies. Just grab a basket and keep a keen eye out to come back with arms full of apples, pears, or cherries depending on the season. The red dots on the map show where the trees are, turning your urban stroll into a delightful fruit treasure hunt.

An ecological and supportive approach
Picking up fallen fruits is also an eco-friendly act. Less waste, more sharing, and a wonderful way to rediscover the natural resources right at your fingertips. Falling Fruit is part of a circular economy where everyone can contribute, either online or through the mobile app. It's a lovely way to reconnect with nature without leaving the city!
Before enjoying your finds, make sure to wash and peel your fruits well. Urban pollution calls for a quick rinse to ensure a safe tasting experience. After that, you're all set for homemade applesauce, fruity pies, and handcrafted vitamin-packed juices!
