Every package carries a statutory disclaimer.

How to start

Steps to a legal first sale in Oregon.

Confirm your products qualify
Verify your menu fits Oregon's cottage food rules. Most states restrict temperature-controlled, meat, seafood, and low-acid canned items; check the prohibited-foods list above.
Optional: register for address privacy
Oregon does not require registration, but offers an optional ID that replaces your home address on labels.
Complete food safety certification
Oregon requires food safety training before you can sell cottage food. Type: food handler.
Label every product correctly
Every label must include your name (or registered ID), product name, ingredients, allergens, and the statute-required disclaimer verbatim.
Start taking orders
Oregon allows online orders, seller delivery. Route orders through your own channels — third-party couriers are not permitted here.

The storefront tool this guide comes from.

VibeKitchen is a storefront and order-management tool for home food sellers — your own ordering page, your own checkout, your own customers. We’re the reason this guide exists: we had to research every state’s cottage food rules to build the product, and we’re publishing what we learned.

What it does

When you’re ready to take orders, VibeKitchen gives you your own ordering page — your URL, your menu, your brand. Buyers browse and pay on your page; orders hit your phone. Your schedule, your inventory, your pricing. Prep in batches, take preorders, or cook made-to-order — whatever your kitchen works best at. You set your prices and keep them.

We don’t take a cut of your sales — a small service fee is paid by the buyer. We’re not a marketplace: we don’t aggregate chefs or route buyers to you. Your page is yours, your brand is yours, and your customers are yours.

For this state

Oregon lets you take orders up to $51,200 a year. VibeKitchen is where you run it.
