Save Green Fork Kitchen in Live Oak

The Issue

Green Fork Kitchen isn’t just a restaurant it’s a dream built from hard work, love, and faith in the Live Oak community. From day one, its owner has poured her heart into serving fresh, healthy meals, creating local jobs, and offering a welcoming space for everyone who walks through the door.

For months, Green Fork Kitchen has worked tirelessly with the City to follow every instruction to stay compliant. Yet despite these efforts, the City continues to push back instead of helping move things forward. Now, a sudden Cease-Occupancy Order threatens to close this small business for good.

This isn’t just about permits or paperwork it’s about fairness, livelihoods, and the heart of our community. Green Fork Kitchen has done everything in good faith, but the City’s lack of cooperation is hurting the very people who make Live Oak special: local workers, families, and small business owners.

We’re asking the City of Live Oak to lift this order, work collaboratively instead of combatively, and let Green Fork Kitchen keep doing what it does best feeding people, creating opportunity, and bringing life to our small town.

Sign this petition to stand with Green Fork Kitchen and send a clear message:

💚 We support fairness.

💚 We support small business.

💚 We support Green Fork Kitchen.
