Selling homemade food in Oklahoma
Oklahoma's Homemade Food Freedom Act needs no license or inspection and currently lets you earn up to $75,000/year gross. A newly signed law (HB 3720, the Local Food Freedom Act) raises that cap to $250,000 starting November 1, 2026. Shelf-stable goods can be shipped nationwide and sold through retailers; perishable (TCS) items can be sold online too but the producer must hand-deliver them directly - no shipping, no third-party resale.
Program

Registration
No license or inspection required. Registering with ODAFF is optional (lets you print a registration number on labels instead of your name/address/phone). Food-safety training (OSU workshop, ServSafe, or other ANSI-accredited course) is required before selling any time/temperature-controlled-for-safety (TCS) food.
Annual sales cap
$75,000 gross annual sales through October 31, 2026. HB 3720, the "Local Food Freedom Act," was signed into law May 2026 and raises the cap to $250,000 effective November 1, 2026 - confirmed via the Oklahoma House of Representatives' official release.
