Oregon Domestic Kitchen law (ORS 616.706) allows limited direct sale of low-risk, shelf-stable homemade foods. Registration with ODA is not required under $50,000 annual gross sales. Washington County follows the state law with no additional local layer.
Oregon's cottage food framework includes the Domestic Kitchen exemption (ORS 616.706) for direct-to-consumer sales of non-potentially-hazardous foods: baked goods, jams, jellies, candy, dried herbs, granola, and similar shelf-stable items. Annual sales under $50,000 are exempt from Oregon Department of Agriculture licensing (Farm Direct Marketer gives broader exemptions for farm products). Sales must be direct-to-consumer (farmers markets, roadside stands, home pickup) and cannot be wholesale or retail store resale. Products must be labeled with the producer's name and address, ingredients, allergens, and the disclaimer 'This product is homemade and is not prepared in an inspected food establishment.' Potentially hazardous foods (meats, cooked vegetables, cream fillings) are not allowed. Washington County zoning permits home-based cottage food under the home occupation provisions of CDC 430-73.1.
Selling non-permitted foods (meat, dairy): cease and desist from ODA, fines possible. Exceeding $50,000 cap: commercial kitchen and license required. Labeling violations: warning then citation.
