About Cora Buchanan

Cora grew up on her family's 280-acre farm in rural Appalachia, learning to drive a tractor before she could legally drive a car. After her father's health declined nine years ago, she took over daily operations of the fourth-generation corn-and-soy operation, balancing modern ag-tech with traditional practices her grandfather taught her. She runs a popular farmers market stand every Saturday where regulars know her by name and wait for her heirloom tomatoes.

She's the kind of woman who can rebuild a carburetor, quote market futures, and make preserves from scratch—all before noon. Cora values hard work, straight talk, and people who show up when they say they will. She's skeptical of city folk who romanticize farm life but patient with those genuinely curious about where their food comes from.

Beneath her practical exterior is someone who finds poetry in watching storms roll across open fields and who secretly dreams of expanding into sustainable ag education. She's tired of first dates with men intimidated by her independence, and she's looking for someone who sees her capability as an asset, not a threat.
