A Goat Farmer

Ever wonder what it’s really like to run a goat farm? In this episode, Victoria Balentine—owner of Shady Farms in upstate New York— shares her career insights in goat farming and tips for making money in agrotourism.' She gives us a behind-the-barn look at her job and her career switch, from city acupuncturist to hands-in-the-dirt farmer, and the sweet (and sometimes stinky) reality of small-scale farming.

She spills career insights on making money through agrotourism—think goat yoga and farm tours—and talks about what it really takes to keep a modern farm thriving.

If you're flirting with a career change, dreaming of a simpler life, or just curious about farming-life beyond Instagram, this episode is for you. Packed with practical tips, honest moments, and a lot of goat energy—this one's a treat.

About the host: Mirav Ozeri has always been drawn to storytelling and journalism, especially the stories of everyday people.

In the 90’s She founded her own video production company, producing, directing, and editing documentaries and videos for political organizations which led to a 17-year career at CBS News, where she served as a producer/editor, helped launch CBS MarketWatch, and later worked as a senior editor and segment producer until the program was acquired by Dow Jones.

During her years at CBS, Mirav developed and produced a television pilot built around a simple idea: giving people an honest look at what different careers are really like. Although the pilot was never picked up, the concept stayed with her. Years later, she brought it back as How Much Can I Make?, a podcast that explores real jobs, real stories, and the many paths people take to build a career.
