Mundraub.org is an interactive website that shows unowned or abandoned places where you can harvest vegetables and fruits for free. Throughout the year, forgotten gardens or street-side fruit-bearing trees yield edibles that are just waiting to be picked up. Mundraub.org lets you tag such places -- in Germany, at least -- and view other tagged locations for free produce.
