"Even a vegetarian can have a change of heart. Zach Schulman, a community garden organizer with Green Guerillas, a nonprofit group that helps establish and maintain community gardens in New York, considers himself mostly vegetarian. But he worked for a time at Bobolink Dairy and enjoys the veal raised there.

“I know the cows at the farm and have seen how they live and where they live and how they are treated,” Mr. Schulman said. “And it makes sense from an ethical standpoint, and it makes sense sustainably and in terms of supporting a small local farm.”

“Eating that veal felt right,” he added, “but it’s really just occasional — a few times a year.”
