There are lots of brilliant natural foods freely available in the countryside at this time of the year. As summer changes to autumn there is an abundance of apples, plums and nuts to be had - if you know where to look and 'get your eye in'. Elderberries are in season right now, many apples are ripening and there are still usable blackberries. Even in towns there are often some great foraging opportunities. We used to collect bullace plums from the hedges surrounding the rugby club. The urban canal-side walks are often a good hunting ground, with wild herbs such as rocket, sorrel and dittander easily available. We recently found mirabelle plums in a walk near a university, a stones throw from an city ring-road. Check out the link below for a great site on wild and urban foraging (urbane foraging even!)
