Prepared Foods
To sell prepared foods at the Cully Collective Market you need to follow all applicable USDA, ODA, and Multnomah County guidelines. You will need to obtain a Temporary Restaurant License and file it with us.
Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) law“>The Oregon Department of Agriculture defines Processed Foods as follows:
Baked goods, dairy products, jams, jellies, preserves, salsas, vinegars, oils, salad dressings, frozen berries and cherries, dried herbs, and dehydrated fruits and vegetables are examples of common farmers’ market products that must be processed in a licensed facility. (See definitions on page 17 for a more complete list food processing activities.)
Home kitchens that meet requirements may be licensed as domestic kitchens for some food processing activities. Jams, jellies and baked goods are often allowed under a domestic kitchen license, but dairy, meats and low-acid canned goods are not allowed in domestic kitchens. Vendors should consult their ODA food safety specialist to make sure the products they plan to sell can be licensed in the facility they intend to use.
