Vitamin K is actually made by bacteria in the gut, but it can also be obtained from:
Food-----------microgr/100 g

Wheat bran----80
Wheat germ --37

The site says that gut bacteria probably account for about half of our needs.
Edit: Note that oranges and carrots contain only a relatively small amount of it!
