Answer
Lasting a mere seven months, the Fruitlands community was a short-lived utopian experiment established in 1843 by Bronson Alcott and Charles Lane in Harvard, Massachusetts. Aiming to create a self-sufficient and harmonious society based on transcendentalist principles, the community practiced vegetarianism, communal living, and manual labor. However, internal conflicts, financial difficulties, and disagreements over leadership and lifestyle ultimately led to its dissolution in 1844.
