Crated and Tethered Veal Calves:
Wegmans admits that their only veal supplier is Marcho Farms in Harleysville, PA. Farm Sanctuary has photographic evidence from this veal farm that reveals a pile of dead calves, calves lying in their own diarrhea and a stockroom filled with stacks of antibiotics to keep the calves alive until slaughter. In a July 26, 2004 phone conversation with Jo Natale of Wegmans, she admitted that the calves are tethered and crated, but claimed that this intense confinement keeps the calves healthy, as well as easier to monitor and feed. She also said the veal calves at Marcho Farms are milk-fed, admitted to a low rate of mortality and that Marcho Farms buys "surplus calves from dairy growers," who are destined for either the beef or veal industry.

In further correspondence in 2005, yet another Wegmans representative avoided responsibility by stating that their "meat experts have been out to the operation many times since we began our relationship with them. We are confident that the calves are raised with integrity and high standards."
