Elves also loved fresh fruit, as did ME's other inhaditants.I can certainly imagine orchards for growing apples and other fruits. They hunted quite a bit, and although hunting probably wasnt enough to sustain the whole populaion of Rivendell, elves in Mirkwood and Lorien certainly had a great abundance of wild game. Elven hunting parties are discribed in the Hobbit.
