Photosynthetic organisms, or that other kind that works off of heat vents on the ocean floor (thermophyllic bacteria).

And I was reminded of a good word... autotrophs

An autotroph (from the Greek autos = self and trophe = nutrition) is an organism that produces organic compounds from carbon dioxide as a carbon source, using either light or reactions of inorganic chemical compounds, as a source of energy. An autotroph is known as a producer in a food chain. Plants and other organisms that carry out photosynthesis are phototrophs (or photoautotrophs). Bacteria that utilize the oxidation of inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonium or ferrous iron as an energy source are chemoautotrophs.

Plants make their own food through a process called "Photosynthesis". They harness the light energy from the sun with an organelle called the "Chloroplast"

Here is the chemical equation for this phenomenon:

Water + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (light) --> Glucose (a sugar = food) and Oxygen

By making their own food, do you mean an organism completely independent from the outside source? If yes, no, there isn't.
