'is in falls getting food' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'is in falls' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'falls' becomes 'rains' (raining is a kind of falling).
'is' placed within 'rains' is 'RAISINS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raisins that I've seen before include "Dried grapes used in cakes" , "Dried grapes, nice in cakes" , "Fruit that's dried" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
