Occupy the Farm is an ongoing social movement that started with the 2012 occupation of the Gill Tract in Albany, California, in protest of planned commercial development of public land and in support of preserving the land for the creation of an open center for urban agroecology and food sovereignty. The occupation began on 22 April 2012 and ended on 14 May 2012. Additional demonstrations were held in 2015 and 2016, and the development, including Sprouts Farmers Market, opened in 2017.
