When our founder Eric Healy visited Peru in 2015, he discovered two powerful resources: abundant natural produce and incredible local farmers. Combine those with a breakthrough preservation technology — hello, GentleDry® — and BranchOut was born.

Today, we operate a 50,000 sq ft facility in the heart of one of the world’s most fertile growing regions, turning fresh fruits and vegetables into clean, crunchy snacks within just 10 days. That’s not just fast — it’s transformational.

Our factory runs on 100% carbon-free energy, and we control every step from farm to pouch.

• 🌿 We buy surplus and "ugly" produce from local farmers, reducing food waste and increasing their income.
• 💼 We provide local jobs and training with strong wages and growth opportunities.
• ⚕️ We've partnered with Peruvian health providers to offer preventive care for our employees.
• 🌐 We’re working with local English schools, gyms, and organizations to support ongoing community development.
• Our GentleDry technology helps reduce food waste and cut carbon emissions by lowering product weight by 70-80%.
• Certified by SMETA to ensure responsible sourcing and ethical practices.

BranchOut is scaling quickly, with over 800 tonnes of production capacity and partnerships with leading food and retail brands. But our mission stays the same:

To deliver amazing snacks that are good for people, the planet, and the communities we work in.

📍 From our factory in Peru to your pantry—we’re proud to bring you snacks with purpose.
