In Season Fruit brings fresh, locally grown produce to various locations across Tacoma. We serve retirement communities, medium to large size businesses, and certain neighborhoods during the summer months. By providing fruit only while it is in season we can guarantee a higher quality, more delicious product.
Our company is helping spread awareness of the benefits of local food. In essence we help spread good food values and practices in places where a full size farmers market cannot exist. It is not our intention to replace what is essentially our inspiration, the farmer's market. We would like to applaud the hard workers and volunteers that make farmers markets possible in Tacoma. If you are interested in a larger farmers market, their times and locations are at the bottom of this page.

A Bowl That Is Fruitful and Multiplies
By CHRISTINE LAGORIO Published: December 24, 2008
Oh, those lonely plums, hidden beneath the banana bunch, forgotten until they are nearly prunes. Fill a bowl with fruit and a piece or two will invariably rot. The Elizabowl’s shape shifts to hold more or fewer fruits. The idea is to separate fruits into individual compartments to retard spoilage.Enter Sarah K. O’Brien. Her Elizabowl is more honeycomb than basin, its shape-shifting white plastic folds resembling an Elizabethan ruff. The bowl’s petals expand to yield more than a dozen flexible, fist-sized compartments. Each holds one round fruit, keeping it visible and away from the other fruits’ discharge of ethylene gas, which speeds spoilage. When folded, the collar design can cradle one or two grapefruits.
