Oklahoma Cottage Food Law

Oklahoma's cottage food law sets an annual revenue cap of $75,000 and no state permit or registration is required. Non-TCS products may be sold by the producer in person or remotely (internet or telephone), or through a designated agent or third-party vendor such as a retail or grocery store, farm stand, farmers market, buying club, craft fair, or flea market, and delivered by the producer, an agent, a vendor, or a parcel carrier. Packaged products distributed interstate must also meet federal law. TCS products must be sold by the producer directly to the consumer and delivered by the producer.

Watch for: HB 3720 changes the law on November 1, 2026: the Homemade Food Freedom Act becomes the Local Food Freedom Act, the gross sales cap rises from $75,000 to $250,000, and the label statement changes from "in a private residence" to "in a facility." Labels printed for products sold on or after that date need the new wording. TCS items must still be sold and delivered by the producer directly.

What's required before your first sale

No permit, license, or inspection. Food safety training (such as ServSafe Food Handler) is required before producing and selling TCS products. An optional ODAFF registration number ($15 a year) can replace your name, phone, and address on labels. From November 1, 2026 (HB 3720), products may be made at any location except a restaurant, and producers must comply with local zoning and building codes.
