Selling homemade food in Oregon
Oregon gives you a choice: stay unlicensed and fee-free under the Cottage Food Exemption up to about $51,200/year in sales, or pay for a Domestic Kitchen License ($208/year plus inspection) if you want to grow bigger or ship out of state. Either way, online orders are fine as long as delivery happens in person within Oregon.
