with Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K. In addition, please explain how the underwriters will
purchase the common stock from you in the market.

Response:
The
Company advises the Staff that, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement with the Representative, the form of which is attached
as Exhibit 1.1 to the Form S-1, the Company will grant the Representative an option to purchase from us, at the initial public offering
price, up to 165,000 shares of common stock, representing fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of common stock sold in this offering,
within 45 days from the effective date of the Form S-1 to cover over-allotments, if any.
If
the Representative does not elect to exercise the over-allotment in full or at all, the Company and the Representative expect that the
Representative may purchase, after the consummation of this offering, additional shares of the Company’s common stock up to, but
not exceeding, an amount representing fifteen percent (15%) of the shares sold in this offering in the public market, in compliance with
Regulation M. The Company believes this approach is consistent with Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K.
SEC
Release No. 33-8511 (the “Release”) indicates that shares of the Company’s common stock purchased in the market
by or on behalf of the Representative must be used to reduce the size of a syndicate short position. Therefore, the Representative may
exercise the over-allotment option only to the extent required to cover the “net” short position. Footnote 67 of the Release
states, “if an underwriter were to exercise the over-allotment option in an amount exceeding the net syndicate short position,
under Regulation M (and former Rule 10b–6) participation in the distribution would not be deemed completed and purchases made prior
to the exercise of the option may violate Regulation M.”
Accordingly,
the Company has revised the disclosure where it appears in Amendment No. 3 to clarify that the Company has granted the underwriter a
45-day option to purchase up to an additional 165,000 shares of common stock “which may be covered by exercising the over-allotment
option and/or by purchasing shares of common stock in the market after the consummation of this offering once secondary trading begins.”

your common stock is listed on Nasdaq. Please also remove the statement that the resale shares
will initially be sold “around” the public offering price. In the alternative,
revise to state a fixed price at which the shares will be offered.

Response:
We
have revised the cover page of the resale prospectus to Amendment No. 3 to state that no shares will be sold until the initial public
offering is closed and our common stock is listed on Nasdaq. We have also removed the statement that the resale shares will initially
be sold “around” the public offering price, and made further clarifying revisions to indicate the expected price range of
the initial public offering and that, when and if the selling stockholders sell their shares under the resale prospectus, they will do
so at prevailing market prices.

No. 0001962481
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
This
correspondence responds to the letter, dated February 17, 2023, received from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Staff”) regarding the abovementioned Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 submitted on January 23, 2023 by BranchOut
Food Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”). We have addressed
each of the comments raised by you and your team below and in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on April 24, 2023 (the “Registration
Statement”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this letter have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Registration
Statement.
Outlined
below are our responses to each of your comments:
Draft
Registration Statement on Form S-1 submitted January 23, 2023
Risk
Factors
Our
Articles of Incorporation provide that the Nevada Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada shall be the exclusive forum,
page 34.
1. We
note your disclosure in the paragraph heading that the Nevada Eighth Judicial District Court
of Clark County shall be the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including claims under
the Securities Act. Please revise this title to reconcile with your disclosure that “the
exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty
created by the Securities Act.”
BranchOut
Response:
We
have revised the risk factor title on page 34 of the Registration Statement to reconcile with the disclosure that the exclusive forum
provision does not apply to suits brough to enforce liability or duties created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction.

After
this offering, our principal stockholder will continue to have substantial control over us, page 34.
2. Please
tell us whether you will be deemed to be a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq
listing rules. If so, please additionally disclose on the prospectus cover and in the summary
(i) the percent voting power that the controlling stockholder will hold after completion
of the offering and (ii) whether you intend to take advantage of the controlled company exemptions
under the Nasdaq rules.
BranchOut
Response:
We
respectfully advise the Staff that Mr. Healy currently owns approximately 68% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.
Given the planned offering size, Mr. Healy’s ownership is expected to be below 30% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
the Company immediately after completion of the offering and conversion of the outstanding convertible notes. Accordingly, the Company
will not be a “controlled company” under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules and does not intend to take advantage of the
controlled company exemptions under the Nasdaq rules. Given Mr. Healy’s expected limited control after completion of the offering,
we have removed this risk factor from the Registration Statement.
Capitalization,
page 37
3. We
note that your Capitalization table on page 37 includes long-term debt of only $34,500. Please
revise to also include any amounts of long-term debt recorded in current liabilities. Also,
please revise to include any debt issued subsequent to September 30, 2022 in the “As
Adjusted” column and include appropriate footnote disclosure of the nature and terms
of this debt. Additionally, we note from your disclosure on page 35 that you intend to use
the proceeds from this offering in part for the repayment of debt. Please ensure that this
repayment of debt is considered in the “As Adjusted” column of the Capitalization
table with appropriate footnote disclosure.
BranchOut
Response:
We
have revised the Capitalization table in accordance with your comments. Please see the updated disclosure on page 36 of the Registration
Statement.

4. We
note from your disclosure on page 65 of the Business Section that in connection with the
EnWave License, you are obligated to purchase additional equipment and pay EnWave certain
annual and earned royalties based on revenue from avocado products sold as well as sales
of drying or processing products. You also disclose the annual royalty required to be paid
in the next few years and thereafter. Please revise your discussion in MD&A to discuss
the nature of this licensing agreement and related commitments. The notes to the financial
statements should be similarly revised and should include your accounting policies related
to the licensing agreements and royalty commitments. See guidance in ASC 440-10.
BranchOut
Response:
We
have revised the MD&A as requested. Please see the updated disclosure on page 48. We have also updated the notes to the financial
statements, please see the updated disclosure in Note 17 on page F-24.
5. It
appears that you have two contract manufacturers. Please file any written agreements with
your manufacturers in Chile and Peru as exhibits to the registration statement, or please
explain why you do not believe you are required to do so.
BranchOut
Response:
We
have filed the agreements with our contract manufacturers in Chile and Peru as Exhibits 10.9 and 10.10 to the Registration Statement.

and Administrative Expense, page 45
6. Please
update your disclosure to identify actions planned or taken, if any, to mitigate the inflationary
pressures you disclose as affecting your travel costs and wages.
BranchOut
Response:
We
have updated the disclosure to make clear that the primary drivers of increased travel costs and wages were due to increased travel in
connection with establishing our new contract manufacturer and the expansion of our operations and due to increased headcount, respectively,
and not due to inflationary pressures. Please see the updated disclosure on page 44 of the Registration Statement.

Management, page 66

We
have updated the biographies of management and the independent director nominees as requested, specifically with regards to Mr. Durst.
Please see the updated disclosures on page 62 of the Registration Statement.
Resale
Prospectus, page II-1
8. Please
revise to disclose a fixed price (or a range) at which the selling stockholders will sell
their shares until the securities are quoted on Nasdaq, after which the securities can be
offered and sold at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
BranchOut
Response:
We
respectfully advise the Staff that given that selling stockholders’ securities constitute “restricted securities” under
Rule 144, we expect that the selling stockholders will delay resales of their securities until the registration statement has been declared
effective by the SEC and the shares in this offering are listed on Nasdaq. However, the selling stockholders are not subject to a separate
contractual lock-up or restrictions on the price at which they may resell their securities and therefore we respectfully advise the Staff
that no fixed price range (or a range) at which the selling stockholders will sell their shares until the securities are quoted on Nasdaq
can be provided. The selling stockholders would be free to resell their shares upon exercise of the warrants, subject to an available
exemption from registration under the Securities Act, at the price of their choosing. Accordingly, we respectfully advise the Staff that
it is impossible for us to define a range within which they may sell shares until the securities are quoted on Nasdaq.
The
disclosure on the Alternate Pages for the Resale Prospectus in the Registration Statement specifies that we expect that any sales by
the selling stockholders of our common stock may be sold at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices
related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
We
hope the foregoing has been responsive to your comments. If you have any questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please contact
Dane Johansen, Esq. at (801) 532-7840 or djohansen@parrbrown.com.
