Senator Green Files Bills to Expand Raw Milk Sales, Support Home Bakers

OKLAHOMA CITY – Sen. Grant Green, R-Wellston, has filed legislation to support local farmers, dairy producers and homesteaders by expanding raw milk sales and adding a sales tax exemption for home-baked bread.

Senate Bill 2107 would legalize the sale of raw milk beyond local farms by allowing sales at produce stands and farmers’ markets. Oklahoma farms would also be able to advertise that they have raw milk for sale.

Existing state law limits raw milk sales to on-farm transactions directly to consumers. Advertising the sale of raw milk is currently prohibited.

Green said SB 2107 would create new economic opportunities for family farms as the demand for farm-fresh raw milk and other locally sourced food continues to grow.

“More and more Oklahomans want to know where their food comes from and how it’s produced,” Green said. “This bill allows them to make informed choices about what they eat and drink while supporting Oklahoma’s farmers and ranchers, who supply fresh, high-quality and minimally processed local goods for healthy meals.”

Green also filed Senate Bill 1995, which would create a sales tax exemption for home-baked bread made by entities approved by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. Most bread sold in grocery stores is already exempt from sales tax, and this measure would ensure home bakers receive the same treatment, Green said.

“Many home bakers are mothers who are raising their children while building small businesses out of their kitchens,” Green said. “SB 1995 simply gives Oklahomans another reason to support their neighbors, buy local and help grow small businesses in their communities.”

Both bills are eligible for consideration when the 2026 legislative session begins Feb. 2.
