Fallen Fruit

“The fallen fruits and vegetables of August”

A dinner made with (mostly) harvested and foraged fruit and vegetables plus a few market items from the neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Usher in the (almost) fall season of Clockshop programming by sharing a fallen fruit meal together with us. Artist and cook David Thorne will be preparing the food that Fallen Fruit provides.

FALLEN FRUIT is a mapping and manifesto for free fruit. Every day there is food somewhere going to waste. We encourage you to find it, tend and harvest it. We believe fruit is a resource that should be commonly shared, like shells from the beach or mushrooms from the forest. Fallen Fruit has moved from mapping to planning fruit parks in under-utilized areas. Our goal is to get people thinking about the life and vitality of our neighborhoods and to consider how we can change the dynamic of our cities and common values. Share with the world and the world will share with you. Barter, don't buy! Give things away! You have nothing to lose but your hunger!

Fallen Fruit is David Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young
