Oklahoma Cottage Food Law
Oklahoma's cottage food law sets no statewide revenue cap and producers must register with the state before the first sale. Direct sales, farmers markets, online, mail order, and retail all permitted. Non-perishable (non-TCS) products may ship interstate; perishable (TCS) products must be delivered in person.
Watch for: Generous and inexpensive — one of the easier states for growing operations. Non-perishable (shelf-stable / non-TCS) products can ship interstate under HB 1032; TCS items must be delivered in person and stay in-state.
