Home coffee business
Can you sell coffee from home in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma's Homemade Food Freedom Act lets you sell many homemade foods and drinks directly to consumers with light regulation and no permit for covered items. Black brewed and nondairy drinks fit; fresh dairy drinks are treated as potentially hazardous.

Black and nondairy drinks can be sold direct to consumers. Add fresh milk and the drink becomes “potentially hazardous,” which falls outside the exemption, so lattes still need more.
