Cyndi Kane grew up in Tulsa and Oklahoma City but has lived all her adult life in
Pawhuska with her husband, Supreme Court Justice John Kane, raising their four kids in the little town made famous by the Pioneer Woman.
Cyndi began her life as a public-school teacher, then as an owner of a boutique clothing store. Later she sold her store so she could homeschool her children, which she has done for the past twenty years. Through the years, she has always had a “side hustle” of some sort: radio talk show host, founder of a homeschool community, and retail buyer for her BFF, Ree Drummond, when she opened the Mercantile in 2016. Currently, Cyndi owns a business where she collaborates with Influencers to design kitchen products that she sells on her online store, House of Hyacinth.
Most recently, you might have seen her on Good Morning America and The Good Dish where she launched her best-selling cookbook, Save It Forward Suppers.
