About

Hi there! We’re Alan and Nyika, the husband and wife duo behind Base Homemade Granola.

Our journey began in Taiwan, where we first met. Nyika quickly discovered that finding healthy, affordable, and delicious granola was a real challenge. Determined to enjoy her favourite breakfast, she decided to start making her own. Alan gave it a try, loved it, and soon enough, our friends and family were hooked too! That’s when we decided to take a leap and share our granola with the world.

It wasn’t easy at first—we converted our guest bedroom into a mini factory and got to work, because no dream is too big, right?

Eventually, we moved back to sunny South Africa. Alan’s parents now run Base Taiwan, so you can still get our granola there, too!

Although granola is easier to find here, bag after bag just didn’t measure up to the homemade goodness we created in Taiwan. So, we decided to bring Base Homemade Granola to South Africa, where we continue to make our favourite breakfast just the way we like it: with quality ingredients, no preservatives, and a whole lot of love.

We believe healthy food should be affordable and accessible to all, without compromising on taste. And we hope you’ll love our granola as much as we do.

Thanks for being part of our journey!

With love,
Alan & Nyika
