Farmer Dan’s beef and chicken box is incredibly tasty! Always comes frozen and with a hand written note!! Their beef is the best tasting I have ever purchased. They are very professional and I highly recommend them!!
After it was simmered, the tender tongue made the best sandwich with a little mustard and pickles. The tongue was delivered clean and ready to cook after a small rinse. Would absolutely buy again.
I can't even tell you how delicious the T-Bone steaks were , we grilled them on our Egg grill and they were spectacular. Will definitely be ordering again!!!
This review is early, as I’m still working through the cuts. I’ve grilled the burger patties, and it was incredible. The other night I cooked some in a cast iron skillet. That was good as well. The grill flavor was another level. I made a beef stew, and that was fabulous. Overall I’m very impressed. I should state, I’ve been buying grass fed beef for some time. It’s important to me cattle eats tall grass, and moved daily. I’ll be buying another 36lb box assortment again.
We are loving this ground beef so much this summer that I just had to order more, even though we have a beef share coming in September! Our adult children have started buying it, too. Many thanks to Farmer Dan and team for feeding our family!
If you really want this to turn out well, marinate thoroughly in a marinade with some oil in it. It is quite lean. I cook the meat by itself, with the veggies on separate skewers. I just have better control of the process that way. Lovely flavor, as found in all Heartstone meats.
Just received our first order and we just enjoyed the BEST HAMBURGERS ever last night! Beside that, Farmer Dan and his team are ready & willing to answer any questions and provide any help with their product. We highly recommend Heartstone farms!
It was so easy to order and the delivery came on the exact day that was stated when I placed the order. It was delivered to my home by a Heartstone delivery truck with the nicest most appreciative driver. We have only had one steak so far and it was absolutely the best tasting steak I have had. We can’t wait to try the rest. The packages are done perfectly and well labeled. What can I say - from order to delivery to the table - I am so impressed with the quality of this company and their product.
Excellent quality beef and I love how it arrived in an insulated box, fully frozen. Will buy from here again.
Not only are these burgers juicy and have just the right amount of fat, IMO, they are delicious. I made my wife a mushroom swiss burger…and for myself, a bacon cheese burger and they were so good. We have been using Heartstones burger for a while and making the patties ourselves but decided to try the pre-made patties. They are 6oz. of deliciousness! So if you’re feeling a little lazy on a Friday evening like I was go for the pre-made patties. Never mind how great the staff is to deal with. They should be an example to every business trying to make a go of it during this crap time! Well done Farmer Dan!
Excellent meat, personable service. The burgers taste like burgers should...very happy customer! 😊
I've been a customer of Heartstone Farm for a few years now. Farmer Dan and his crew are great. I look forward every year to getting my delivery. Take the time to make sure you understand where your beef comes from and how it's treated. I plan on being a Heartstone Farm customer for a long time!
Superior Beef with Exceptional Service
The chicken was more expensive than we usually buy but worth every penny - everyone in the family loved it and asked me to buy more.
Our 4th of July was especially delicious this year with amazing steaks on the grill. Thank you Heartstone!
Roasted two chickens in a large electric roaster. We used lemon, salt and pepper, parsley and lots of garlic. We roasted the two chickens over some celery, carrots and onions. We served the roasted chicken, which was the tastiest we’ve ever had (so juicy and tender) with oven roasted carrots, potatoes, onions and fennel. Also, we had some broccoli. What a phenomenal meal! With enough leftovers for chicken salad AND homemade chicken soup. Thanks, Farmer Dan!
First having it delivered right to my door was fantastic. The quality of meat was very good and I loved the packaging amounts. Knowing that Im eating grass fed and no additives is very important to me, and the price was right. I will definitely being ordering again.
I had been searching for local sourced beef and came across Heartstone Farm. Previous reviews of the farm were all positive and decided to try it. I purchased a couple of rib-eyes and a few pounds of ground beef just to try their products. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The rib-eyes grilled up perfectly and the flavor and texture was incredible. The ground beef made great burgers and the flavor, like the steaks was fantastic. When I placed my order it was in the middle of the current pandemic so it took a little while to receive it, but they kept me informed of the delay and any inquiries that I made was responded to in a timely manner. I'll definitely be purchasing from them again. In my opinion you don't need to go any further than Heartstone Farm.
Used the ground beef for a chili it was so good, definitely could tell the difference even when I was cooking it. Highly Recommend them.
Love the cow print mask! Local support and a great farm. Moo could ask for more! 🐂
It was delicious. Even though the package was delayed by problems the post office experienced, the meat still arrived cold! It was packed very well. The short ribs were amazing too!
These short ribs are top quality and extremely tasty. I love using them in a wide variety of preparations. Well worth it. And supporting your local farmers in the process is always a plus.
We cooked these in the grill and they were so tender and delicious
These steaks are really terrific - well-marbled, beautifully cut and, best of all, wonderful, rich beefy flavor. I'm committed to buying responsibly raised grass-fed beef but it hasn't been easy finding a source for it that also produces a truly great steak. Heartstone Farm is just that source. Many thanks!
Farmer Dan has definitely become my "meat guy". The meats are excellent - from the steaks to the Hamburg patties. I love that the cows are grass-fed, no grain, and especially no antibiotics. Quality and service is excellent as well. My order arrived amazingly packaged and all the meat was still frozen solid. As an 11th generation Mainer I love supporting Maine farmers and I have found one of the best! Going to place another order soon!!
Back again for dry cured beef. What can I say but I love farmer Dan's dry cured beef great flavor delivered to my door. This is my third order and I will continue to enjoy the meat out of my freezer. I had looked a long time to dry cured beef and finally found it at Heartstone Farm after many, many years. All I can say is thank you for a great product. "I'll be BACK...."
I'm so happy with the quality and taste of all the beef products I ordered. The beef brisket was tender and delicious. The short ribs great and the steak tips are so tender and tasty. Will be ordering soon.
We love the chicken and beef we ordered from Heartstone Farm! High quality products, very nicely packaged and great customer service! Thank you Farmer Dan and Heartstone Farm!
So far, we have enjoyed a few steaks (t-bone and rib-eye), stew beef, burgers and ground beef from our Maine Box. The quality and taste have been excellent and we feel as though we have found our meat supplier from now on! More, Farmer Dan and crew were very responsive to questions, kept us updated on delivery, and were a pleasant group with which to work. Delivery was smooth and everything came in great shape for our freezer. Highly recommend!
Delicious!!!!! Strongly recommend to everyone . Thank you!!!
This is high quality food with excellent taste. You won't go wrong purchasing from Heartstone Farms.
I live in Maine and there were no local places near Augusta that had brisket readily available. My husband requested brisket for his birthday that weekend and I was scrambling to make it happen. I called Heartstone because they'd had advertised several different sizes of brisket beef. Needless to say I placed the order online, and because I live in the state I was able to drive up and pick up my order the next day. My husband enjoyed his brisket very much. Thank you!
Bellwether are very pleased with the quantity and assortment of meats in our Maine box. About 40% of the box is ground beef or hamburger patties. So far we tried one package of patties and the beef short ribs. Both were excellent. We grilled the ribs with indirect heat at around 275 deg for about 2 1/2 hours with a pepper, salt, and paprika dry rub. Then, for a second meal of ribs, we braised the previously grilled meat in red wine and mushrooms. The meat fell off the bone. We haven’t tried the steaks yet. For the large porterhouse steaks, I would have preferred one 2 lb thicker steak than two thinner steaks. I like to pre-cook thick steaks in a suis vide and use a reverse sear method. I will have to do some research about the best method for cooking a thin (3/4 to 1 inch) porterhouse. This isn’t a criticism of the meat, just a personal preference. When we order it again, I would ask to swap two thinner prime cuts for one thicker steak. Overall, you can’t beat the sale price for quality grass fed beef for an average of under $10 per pound.
So good. Made burgers in the 4th and everyone declared they were the best I’d made. I agreed.
Great site, great service and great product! Love it!
the chicken is delicious !! i have not had chicken before with this smooth texture. I plan on ordering more each week to prep for winter time! if it lasts till then lol
Great products. Great service. Very good communication very happy your ground meat
Just the best chicken you could ever get. Amazing. Thank you!
We had first Porterhouse for dinner last night was delicious.
Just pure heaven...chicken the way God intended.
This order was for my dad's birthday. He was thrilled with the burgers and steaks. Thank you so much for the great product and service. I totally recommend your farm, and will be ordering again soon. Mattie
This has been the best decision I've made since moving back to New England during a time when grocery stores are stocked with some of the countries worst meat. Finding this farm has been awesome. The meat I've grilled has been so tasty and the experience of doing business with Heartstone has been top notch. They are so responsive to questions, requests, etc. As long as I live in their delivery area I'll be ordering a monthly box and more!
Well done! It was sent as a gift and it was very well received.
I have ordered these short ribs with my very order! They are best and s joy to cook!I feel like a chef is every time I serve them to friends!
To be honest, I was gone when the meat came in and my husband put it all in the freezer. I just got back and we are going to try the hamburger patties tonight. The packaging was excellent and the different cuts of meat look top notch! I am sure I will be very frugal with this meat as I want it to last. :) Thank you for the opportunity to purchase organic beef at a reasonable price especially during these uncertain times.
The Healthy at Home Box is made out of extreme quality beef and chicken. Finding grass-fed quality beef nowadays is challenging, but with the Home Box, quality is ensured without sacrificing flavor. On top of that, knowing that by purchasing the Home Box I'm helping small farmers like Dan, it really becomes a no-brainer.
Top-quality beef, reasonably priced!!!
The communication, meat, and packaging are all very well done. Happy to support local as best as I can.
These burgers were so good! There were the perfect size. I will be buying them again. I wish they were sold in packs of 2 or 4.
I am so happy that i found heartstone farm on line about 5 month ago. i loved liver, heart, beef stew,it's grass fed, grass finished pure and fresh every bite. This time i ordered sirloin steak,short rib,chicken breast ect I cooked sirloin steak after marinated in crushed kiwi for 4~5 hours wow, it cooked out so tender,delicious,heavenly taste!! I could feel the lifting yang energy in my body from eating happy healthy cattle meat. come to thinking about it, Ancient time, our ancestors never consumed cattle, poultry with added hormone, antibiotics, grains like our present age. I think that why they lived long happy healthy life without all sorts of ailments we are suffering now. i wish your farm's mission and care for humanity never change. I would love to recommend your amazing product to anyone who's seeking for healthy meat. PS : I wish you could have beef kidney on your future list. Thank you Dan and farm family for your great work and dedication !!!
Really good grass- fed meat. Some of the best steak I’ve ever enjoyed
HeartStone farm produces the best quality beef I have ever had in my life. I have been on a strict carnivore diet for a few years now due to some autoimmune conditions. Needless to say I have tried my fair share of beef. I have been wanting to support local regenerative farms more and more as I learn about how the quality of our food dictates our health span. Farmer Dan goes to great lengths to produce this level of quality and I am grateful to have found their farm. I will be a lifelong customer from this point forward.
We love the beef and chicken we get from Heartstone Farms. It's nice to have a farm near you that delivers excellent products. Thank you Heartstone!
Great service and the very best best I’ve ever cooked! I can’t even remember eating beef that tasted this good. The flavor and richness are amazing. I love knowing the animal was well treated and grass fed for life. Thank you Farmer Dan!
In June 2020, we got our first cow share from Heartstone Farm. The meat is extremely good, and everything came just when and as we were told it would. We've tried Cowshare and ButcherBox in the past, and while both are good, this meat is definitely more flavorful. It's also better packaged (no leaking as everything defrosts, which has been a constant issue with ButcherBox) and comes at a more competitive price. We're definitely ordering from Heartstone again.
Heartstone Farm is an American success story...Farmer Dan has created an opportunity for all of us to benefit from the land stewardship and animal husbandry of his wonderful herd in a healthy and sustainable manner. You can be assured that every beautiful marbled cut has been raised and processed with care and attention providing the most flavorful and delicious beef we have ever had which now totals several shares and many, many additional orders including gifts to clients and friends. I’ve never received a better reception than gifting the goodness of Heartsone Farm. Thank you Farmer Dan!
yes farmer dan, the ribeye steaks were excellent! great flavor!!
The dry aged strip steak is a perfect choice and size when grilling for one or for the whole family when everyone has a preference for how they want their steak cooked. Rare, medium rare or medium no problem. A family favorite.
The beef is very tender compared to regular beef bought at grocery stores. It is definitely a cut above the rest!!
I just can't get enough of Farmer Dan's beef heart! Well, actually, his liver too, and his beef...you get the idea. Tastes like the meat of my youth when I lived on a farm in Maine and my dad & mom raised "our own." This isn't grocery store meat...not even the stuff marked as "Certified Angus" can hold a candle to this meat.
We received a shipment and we started tasting and chicken breast is out of this world delicious and flavorful and ribeye steak is so tender juicy and delicious one of the best we ever had and we are fussy New Yorkers with seasonal house in Maine who travel a lot and and know a lot about food and this is an incredible find!!
Nicely packaged. Meat I have tried so far was very flavorful and tender.
Although it took a bit of time to get the order the service and meat is wonderful! Definitely worth the wait. Yummy!!! Let me reassure you, when I learned of the wait it was what convinced me it must be an excellent product.
I love all the HSF beef, so when I saw a deal on brisket, I bought 7 of them at once... smart decision. It was amazing.. I will back to get more
We are so happy we found Heartstone Farm. Everything that we have ordered from them has been exceptional. We look forward to all of our deliveries. This time we also added chicken to our Maine Box order. It was delicious. We are hooked on Heartstone!
Sirloin tip is not noted as the tenderest of steaks, and if overcooked can be dry. I had a cook-out Sunday (observing proper precautions of course.) I cooked five sirloin tips in my sous-vide cooker the night before to medium rare. The juices went to make a lovely steak sauce. When my guests arrived, I simply pan-seared the steaks for a minute or so on a side after seasoning with Kosher salt, garlic and fresh pepper. Absolutely lovely, so easy, juicy and very tender. Thanks again, Dan. The advantage to this method is that the steak remains tender and juicy. I made up a bit of hash for dinner tonight using the orphan baked potato, a small onion, and cubes of steak. Lovely, and not chewy and dry. Another advantage, which I've mentioned before is that a moderate steak is enough. You simply feel fed quicker.
I met Farmer Dan a little over a year ago and we just got our second quarter share delivered. The freezer is full and we love the assortment of meats that we get and quality is the absolute best!
Super delicious! Excellent customer service. Always packed for perfection.
5 star service, best rib eye steak and liver ever. Thank you Heartstone! Will shop again very soon..
Excellent box of meat. Huge variety in the meat box. And they were very accommodating on my delivery. Will definitely order from heartstone again!
These masks are well made and I get complimented from time but bottom line is the money goes to feed hungry families and that's what it's all about
Their Maine box is a great deal and the quality is great. They are some of the best burgers I’ve had. Thanks again!
Wonderful meat!!!
These were delicious and very well cut steaks. Great on the grill and beautiful marbling made them super tender even cooking them rare.
This was my first order from Heartstone and both my wife and I are very pleased with our order. We had the steak tips the other night and the burgers tonight and have agreed that it’s the best beef we’ve tasted. We’ll definitely will place more orders in the future. Many thanks!!
I bought this as a gift for my husband for his birthday. It was a great gift but didn’t last long because my parents were intrigued and soon we were giving away packages of meat for everybody to try! Everyone who tried the beef commented on how delicious it was (beef that tastes like beef!). So much better than grocery store beef and so nice to support a local business and know where our food comes from. We cancelled our subscription-because we are ordering a 1/4 share! Couldn’t recommend more highly
Until now my favorite Heartstone steak was the 1 pound ribeye. The only thing better is a 38 ounce Tomahawk Rib Steak. Same great flavor and texture as the rib eye but a show stopper when feeding guests. Highly recommended.
I love the meat package I got from Heartstone Farm. I got the healthy at home box and will be ordering again. They have fantastic meat selection and superb quality meats along with great customer service! What more could you ask for?
Tasty! Clean and super fresh. Packing was superior. Arrived fast and frozen. Will order again for sure.
Tasty and tender! I enjoy all their cuts.
