The Spirit Fruit Society was a communitarian group in the United States that was organized following the period of repeated business depressions during the 1890s. Although it never numbered more than a handful of adherents, the Spirit Fruit Society is considered to have existed longer and more successfully than any other utopian group in the United States.

The Spirit Fruit Society was a communitarian group in the United States that was organized following the period of repeated business depressions during the 1890s. Although it never numbered more than a handful of adherents, the Spirit Fruit Society is considered to have existed longer and more successfully than any other utopian group in the United States. Plagued by rumor, suspicion and attacks in the press during its early years, the group remained active until 1930. The name is derived from the group's belief that mankind's spiritual state is as that of a bud or blossom on a plant and that man's soul has not yet developed as a fruit from the blossom. The goal of the society, then, was to bring the soul to fruition. As the Society's founder, Jacob Beilhart said, in documents incorporating the society, "...as yet, man is an underdeveloped 'plant' which has not manifested the final fruit, which he is to produce." The essential philosophy of the group was based upon the belief in self-renunciation, hard work, tolerance, and peace.
