100th episode ft. tim’s pumpkin patch

MONDAY’S episode of the Cultivate CNY Podcast is extra special — it’s our 100th and the launch of season 3!

To celebrate, we’re taking you out of the studio and into the fields at Tim’s Pumpkin Patch, a beloved family farm in Marietta, New York, that’s been growing memories since 1986.

What began as a small roadside stand has blossomed into one of Central New York’s favorite fall destinations, with sprawling pumpkin patches, a corn maze, legendary bakery, and even a new brewery on the horizon.

In the episode, Alex Canavan sits down with the leubner family as they share how teamwork, creativity, and passion turned Tim’s Pumpkin Patch into the community gem it is today.

Whether you’re a longtime visitor or simply love stories about local businesses, this episode is sure to leave you inspired. Be sure to catch the full video experience on YouTube or Spotify!
