Farm Stands Rulemaking Concluded

In July 2025, the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) paused a rulemaking on farm stands at the request of Governor Kotek to reflect on questions and concerns about the rulemaking process and content. Since then, the Governor’s Office, DLCD and the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) have worked together to reassess next steps and have decided that many of these questions reside in statute, not rule, and may be better suited for legislative action. In light of this decision, DLCD has concluded the rulemaking advisory committee without recommending rule changes.

“We want to thank our rulemaking advisory committee members for sharing their experiences, ideas, and thoughtful perspectives during the many discussions we held during 2025,” DLCD Director Brenda Bateman said in a statement. “The commitment to the issues and passion that was shared during this process is genuine and appreciated, and we trust that Oregonians will continue to share their values and knowledge with the legislature as this conversation unfolds.”

DLCD and ODA remain ready to participate in these conversations as they unfold at the legislature.
