Oregon ORS 616.706 (Domestic Kitchen Bakery rule) allows Portland home bakers to sell up to 20,000 dollars per year of low-risk baked and confection goods directly to consumers without a commercial kitchen.
Oregon's Domestic Kitchen Bakery law, ORS 616.706, permits home production of shelf-stable baked goods, jams, jellies, candies, granola, and dry mixes for direct sale to consumers up to 20,000 dollars gross annual revenue. No license is required, but each package must carry the baker's name, address, ingredients in descending order, and a prominent label: Made in a domestic kitchen that is not licensed, regulated, or inspected. Portland home bakers must also comply with PCC Chapter 33 home occupation rules, collect no Transient Lodgings Tax, and meet Multnomah County Health wash and storage practices. Temperature-controlled or low-acid foods are excluded.
