Ex-Yankees coach runs farm that vows to 'make meat great again'

Cavalea said he and his wife saw changes in their own health when they began changing their diet.

"We started eating off the land and everything started to change," he told co-anchor John Roberts. "The skin started to clean up, the energy started to get better." 

Cavalea, a first-generation farmer, credited his time as the New York Yankees' strength and conditioning director for inspiring him to research his own food's nutrition. 

"My job with the team was to source some great food and great nutrition for the players," he explained. "And I realized if I knew what I knew now, I would have done things totally different."

"Do I want quality or do I want mass production?" Cavalea asked.

"We've had folks dealing with autoimmune diseases, cancer, all sorts of health issues, kids with behavioral issues," he recalled.

That same year, Dana and Lauren launched their meat business.
