Honestly I wouldn't mind the manure (it's a natural fertilizer after all), but the other stuff...ew.
I guess there wouldn't be a way to know unless you're shopping at a farmer's market and ask, or you grow veggies yourself.
Saying "I don't mind" is just another one of those convenient excuses by vegans who have otherwise posted or said something to the contrary. That's why in the so called "official" definition of what is "vegan" the phrase "..as practical as possible" is added to hedge their bets so to speak. Like going "hey we can condemn other people for their actions but when it's our turn, we can easily say it's not practical...".
Notice that these very same vegans who posted have vehemently claimed that they absolutely oppose any animal use or exploitation for human gain. But of course when it comes to exploiting and using animals in the production of "vegan food", the convenient excuses come into play.
So, as a vegan worried about using manure as a fertilizer, do you also object to using worms to enrich the soil??
Do you somehow want to raise your veggies without any insect dying?
What about the wild critters that walk across your property and poop on the ground? Do you have plans to avoid that as well?
There is never going to be a vegetarian source of soil if you plant outdoors.
Ever.
I don't know, and honestly it doesn't bother me. I'm not that strict. The point is that I'm buying fruits/vegetables, not meat or dairy. Plus its just their waste their using as fertilizer.
The only one I can think of that would be certain would be a hydroponic farm.
