Becky Burns started Anahola Granola on Kauai in 1986. What began as a favorite dish served at social gatherings, grew into pounds sold at fairs, farmer's markets and specialty stores. Becky made and sold her granola for many years while running the Deco Gecko Café in Kapaa. Today, most of the upscale hotels throughout Hawaii serve Anahola Granola in their restaurants. It is also sold in specialty shops, health food stores, bed and breakfasts, cafes, and grocery stores. Anahola Granola continues to grow each year, but is still run as a cottage industry and small business. Although Becky's vision of keeping her business small goes against the modern business model, it ensures quality control and consistency in the product.
