The packaging was excellent - arrived still frozen. This was a big deal to me because I have ordered from other companies and the item wasn't even cold to the touch. The meat was great. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.
This by far the best chicken I’ve ever had. Will be ordering again.
This steak was amazing! I may be a bit of a snob when it comes to ribeyes, but this certainly did not disappoint. Great steak.
Meat came well packaged in a cooler box, still frozen. Vac-sealed packages were labeled with type of cut and weight. My box also had some helpful tips on cooking grass-fed beef. Excellent company to deal with.
Not only was this marrow a great deal higher quality and better-tasting than your standard stuff, I had a mixup with shipping and Dan himself answered on the first ring and got it straightened out. Great operation, I'll be back!
By FAR the best I have ever tasted. Everything was delicious! The quality was impressive as well, it smelled fresher, felt fresher, and obviously the taste was amazing. I will be returning... often. :-)
We just got out order we had the PRE made hamburger that was the test for me because I don’t like premade burgers these where great. They are really nice people to deal with.
We’re very happy with this Healthy at Home box; so happy that we’re going to order one of the larger boxes. The service and communication from the farmers is excellent and the meat is excellent. Win- win! I highly recommend.
We don’t buy our beef anywhere else now! Steaks and rest of products are GREAT and customer service is unsurpassed!
I thought that two ribs to an order was going to be kind of paltry but my goodness, these were so large and seriously meaty with just the right amount of fat. They were tender and flavorful and moist. The difference from these and the grass fed supermarket beef is eye opening. These are worth the money.
Chicken wings were delicious. Everything I ordered was so much more flavorful than what I get in the grocery store. Lots to be said for “farm to table!”
I ordered the Maine Box to send to my sister, in RI. It was delivered exactly when the site said it would be. It was a hot June day and it arrived well packaged and still fully frozen. Her family loves it and the meat is stellar!
“This is the best hamburger I have ever tasted” said my husband ! It really was delicious ! We are very happy with our purchase and planned to order a half cow for the freezer . We are so so happy to have found Farmer Dan and Heartstone Farm .
We were very pleased with the quality of the meat and the delivery process. Every cut of beef and chicken that we have eaten so far has been tender, juicy and a delicious flavor. We will definitely be ordering again. Thank you. The Peters Family
Package arrived as expected. It was well packed and the food seems fine. Butt when they ship to warmer climates they should put in more dry ice. Had I not been home when the package arrived, it could have thawed since the package was left right out in the sun.
The meat looks wonderful, shrink wrapped and all still frozen solid. We are looking forward to the quarter we ordered for September.
Farmer Dan is a life saver! My hubby wanted a tomahawk steak for Fathers Day! With a quick internet search I found this AMAZING farm! The steaks look amazing... we can’t wait to fire them up on the grill. There was a personalized hand-written note. We will definitely be ordering again soon!
Got this as part of a larger order for my Father-in-law. First off Dan and Emily was so great rushing the order out! Thank you so much. Now onto the stew meat - which was fantastic. It was so fresh and tender and full of flavor, cooked so well and easy. The cuts were lean:) Pure comfort food. There were no leftovers! Thanks again to Dan/Emily for the recommendations and great service.
We purchased a half of beef from farmer Dan and it is excellent.I always purchase grass fed local beef, I believe in sustainable agriculture and try to support local farmers.The beef came vacuum sealed and frozen I am impressed.
Very happy with Farmer Dan. Good, dependable service, and very good meat! :-)
SUPER TASTY, really delicious and great flavor. Some of the best I have ever had—I will order again!!!
For quite some time I had sworn off supermarket ground beef; the smell and taste was not appealing whatsoever. I have since discovered Heartstone Farm meats and, in particular, the ground beef is one of my family’s favorite items. The ground beef fries up nicely and tastes the way beef should. I am a big fan! J. Martin
I bought this box for my husband. He is a meat and potatoes kind of guy! He absolutely loves the beef and chicken. We will continue to purchase this box and my add on other items as well. Thank you Heartstone Farm!
Great steak tips my whole family asked where I got them. I highly recommend Heartstone to all my friends and coworkers
Early last week we received our first Heartstone Farm box. I have a beef stew recipe that friends and family love and couldn't wait to try it with the 2 lbs of stew beef that were in the box. One thing I noticed was how much quicker the beef browned compared to store bought beef. As for the finished batch, everyone said this was my best batch ever. I am convinced Hearstone farm beef is worth every penny of the premium over industrially raised beef.
Just had my very first grass fed TBone from my monthly subscription box and it was SOO incredibly good. From the customer service-the free delivery- to the actual taste of this beef I am SUPER happy that we opted in. I cannot wait to get next months box!!
Delicious ground beef. Can’t wait to try the porterhouse! Easy ordering and the packaging and delivery were perfect. Thank you Farmer Dan!
Our farm package came this past week! We will be having the burger tomorrow! I’m reviewing the shipment and packaging right now! It was fabulous to receive the notification that the package shipped and arrival was the next day! The ice was still very frozen do everything was still frozen solid! As soon as we eat some more I’ll review the meat! Thank you!
Steaks just arrived. UPS delays made me concerned about freshness. But ice blankets were still cold and meat was at about 37 degrees, despite being several days late. Looking forward to a steak for dinner tonight. tho they seem a little small.
Great value, and high quality beef. Every month, my box arrives on time, very well packed with the meat still frozen, and with a handwritten note for a nice personal touch.
The food i have so far is been good.But i thought I would have more meat then what i got
Very pleased with our first order! Our meat arrived packed perfectly and the hamburger tasty! Can’t wait to try the brisket- one of the best looking we’ve seen! Will be ordering again !
I ordered the Maine box! The quality of all the meat is exceptional! The pricing is great value for the quality meat I received. I will definitely order again!
This is the best ground beef ever.We will be ordering from Farmer Dan again soon.
The chicken was very clean, young and tender. We cooked it on the grill, best chicken ever!
Our package arrived the other day and the meat was perfectly packed and still solidly frozen. The steaks look delicious and we can't wait to get them on the barbecue. Thank you, Farmer Dan, for enclosing instructions for how to best prepare and cook grass-feed beef. It was very helpful.
Heartstone farms sirloin Tip Steak was excellent. We had it for supper the other night. We had it with our breakfast the next morning. We both enjoyed it. The beef taste reminds us of our time in Wales. We will be ordering more. All the Heartstone beef we have tried so far has been excellent.
Are you looking for a beef bone for broth that still has a good bit of meat for soup or for a light meal? Choose an Osso Bucco piece! You will get a nice sized bone and a good bit of satisfying meat as well. If you have wished for a bone with more meat attached than a scraping, this is the cut for you. It's flavorful and delicious!
All your cuts of meat are very good. I'm extremely happy that you also feature chicken. I made the chicken thighs and was very impressed with the freshness, taste, and and quality of the product. Will be ordering again soon (going on my fourth order )...
We were given a steak from our kids, who had ordered from Heartstone. It was an AMAZING steak! We ordered immediately, but due to Covid they were wiped out of product. We got a lot of heads up as our order was about to be shipped. When it arrived it was very well packaged, everything was still solid frozen. So far we have only tried the burgers from this order, and the flavor was truly delicious. Highly recommend Farmer Dan’s product!
Having purchased local, grass-fed premade burgers that tasted more akin to a hockey puck than actual beef, imagine our surprise and delight when our premade burger patties from Farmer Dan arrived and tasted like real beef! Thank you Farmer Dan, for providing delicious meat. We will be placing a larger order to get ourselves through the winter, shortly.
From order to delivery, Heartstone Farm has provided us with excellent service and an excellent product.
Let me start off saying I am a retired meat cutter of 30 years.You will not get better steaks than these.After just two bites the wife said .We have to get more of these.They where tender and had that taste only dry aging can give.And another plus was how well they were packed.I will be ordering more soon.
Excellent meat. Excellent customer service. Will be a regular. The short ribs were a real treat. We are very happy customers.
Customer service is amazing. Product is good. Would buy again.
The meat is wonderful with loads of flavor. So far I have tried the ground beef and the shaved steak, both delicious. The shaved steak was so tender with no grizzly pieces that you often find in other shaved meats. I could not stomach another frozen beef patty until I tried Heartstone Farm's and I could eat their hamburg everyday. Even better is there personalized and down to earth customer service, they get right back to you and help immediately with any questions you have. In addition, the way they package the food for deliver is incredible and they email you to let you know when your meat has left their farm and you can track it along the way. I turned my Mom into a customer and she is also thrilled with not only there quality but their customer service. I am really trying to use local companies that give the best service and incredible quality! I have talked directly to farmer Dan and through the online chat with their son and I can personally say they have their heart in the right place. I have other cuts in my freezer and I can't wait to try!
We are delighted with the delicious selection of beef in our Maine Box. It gives us such peace of mind to know where our meat is coming from! Thanks Farmer Dan!
filets were very big and tender, some of the best steak I have ever tasted, will definetly order again.
The Maine Box assortment was very high quality, and you could taste the difference.
Absolutely delicious! Tender and juicy! Took farmer Dans advice and seared the steaks on a hot grill then cooked them on medium!
It was delicious! Looking forward to ordering again
Always fresh and always delicious! Hearthstone Farm comes through again. Such an amazing discovery and the best grass fed beef I’ve ever had. Thanks Farmer Dan!
We received our Maine box last week and have tried the ground beef patties, the ground beef, a rib eye and a package of the short ribs. The ground beef is the best we have ever had, the rib eye had great flavor and texture and was rich enough for the two of us to share. We have been hooked on bone in short ribs for 20 years now and these were by far the best we can remember! Most short ribs we get end up having great texture but are lacking in their own inherent flavor. The best way I can put it is they taste like beef!
We had our wings yesterday and they were the absolute best we've ever had! I found a Keto recipe that starts with refrigerating them 2 - 4 hours to dry the skin, and boy, did it work.They were fantastic, with an avocado dipping sauce. This just may be our new favorite company meal. Thanks, Dan Also, remember the day we stopped at your store and we took chicken thighs, even though I'm not crazy about them, because you were out of breast? Well - the thighs were fabulous! We loved them. Also - that was the most fantastic ribeye we had to celebrate Dave's 89th birthday. Heartstone Farm rocks!! Take care, stay healthy, Marty Ward
Moist, delicious chicken. The best I’ve ever cooked.
These masks are a fun way to support a great cause
This was the first time that I bought grass fed beef heart and it had less fat and more meat than hearts from conventionally raised cattle. And as expected it tasted better!
As a product, this can be slightly difficult to get around. It needs long cooking to be tender, and should be sliced thin. If it is pre-cooked then crisped up, it is a truly marvelous meat. Try it cooked sous-vide for about 36 hours, skinned, sliced, and then flash seared over a very hot grille for a couple minutes (really, watch it) or on a smoking skillet for a couple of minutes a side. Serve with a spicy sauce. Lends well to sandwiches or Asian dishes featuring rice or noodles.
We recently received our first order of beef and chicken and couldn't be more pleased. The beef is high quality, beautifully red and marbled with a phenomenal taste. Haven't tried the chicken yet, but it looks good, no tendons or grizzled pieces.
Our package arrived the other day and the meat was perfectly packed and still solidly frozen. The whole chicken, breasts and wings all look delicious and we can't wait to get them on the grill or into the oven.
My husband and I really enjoyed our healthy at home box. It was a good size for us. We wanted something more local and that would deliver so this was perfect. We really liked the flavor of the meat too it was really tender and juicy. I would highly recommend.
Best steaks I've ever eaten, high end steakhouses included.
Delish and great business
Steak Tips - the tips are lean but tasty. we grill them and you have to be careful not to overcook. Written suggestions on cooking and seasoning are included with the order. I also suggest marinating. We use maple bourbon and it clearly brings out the flavor of the meat. My only suggestions is that i wish the cuts were bigger. we serve them as a main course and i wish they were a little heartier.
Yummy! I have to say I was very impressed with this chicken. We marinated it and slow cooked it on the grill. Wonderful dinner and the leftovers made a nice chicken salad.
Product arrived with some delay (fault of UPS), however Heartstone kept me updated, which is very much appreciated and shows their commitment to meeting customer expectations. The product was well packaged in an insulated box with a surprisingly amount of cooling media. I have shipped seafood across the world and was definitely impressed with their standards. I haven't had a chance to try all the product shipped, but the porterhouse was excellent (couldn't wait for the 4th of July :) )...
Great tasting beef! Bill Todd
My family just had a delicious dinner, with the organic whole chicken we received in our Heartstone Farm shipment t last week. It was a perfect size for our small family (just over 3 pounds), and was so flavorful and tender! There if Erg little meat left, but I will be making stock with the carcass right away. Another day of heavenly smells! I will definitely be ordering chicken again...thanks, Farmer Dan!
Meat was excellent tasting and arrived sooner than promised and packaged great
The local 100% grass fed beef is exactly what I was looking for when searching for local options for meat. The stew beef was great and I recommend to anyone looking to purchase meat locally. It is wonderful to know where my meat comes from now and I look forward to other cuts when I reorder in addition to the ground beef.
Absolutely amazing taste and super tender meat! Thank you!
Delivered on time. Perfectly packaged . Absolutely delicious.
You can really taste the difference between farm fresh and grocery store meat! Now my family is spoiled and we will never go back! Absolutely recommend!
Best Chicken ever! After having Heartstone Farm's organic chicken breasts, I could never buy grocery store chicken again. It might cost a little more but it is so worth it.
I purchase the main box. The steaks and beef we're great tasting, with lots of flavor. We will definitely purchase again!
The best ever chicken and beef! We LOVE Heartstone Farm! Great customer service too!
I admit, chicken is not my favorite meat. I eat it because it's versatile and high in protein. Cue Heartstone Farm's Organic Chicken Breast. I grilled them and honestly, it is literally THE BEST chicken I have ever had. Rich flavor and so juicy and tender. I'm now a chicken lover and order the organic chicken breasts with every order. It's such a blessing to have such beautiful poultry available from such a wonderful organization. Thanks, Farmer Dan!
Delish! Just recommended farmer Dan to our cape cod friends. We are thrilled not only with the quality of the meat but the service is fantastic. We will be life long customers!!
OK, with all due respect to Farmer Dan the Beef and Chicken man, the ground beef is about as good as you'll find anywhere. Just buy it and use it anywhere else you'd use ground beef and you'll be fair satisfied. My current project has been on the Heartstone beef heart smoked meat. I just did a piece of this 24 hrs in the sous-vide, followed by an overnight in a vacuum bag with a very good Montreal rub, followed by two hours over hickory and cherry chips in the smoker. It is phenomenal. For one, it is a very concentrated food, so small portion will do ya. Yes, I know the whole deal may seem overly fussy and take a lot of gear, but it is simply that good, and really doesn't take much effort. Much of the prep is simply wait time where you can do almost anything else. The last person I dated insisted on buying Halal meats. Halal, particularly out of a certain market on Montreal insures super quality, but good gracious the price. I'm no expert, but Farmer Dan's meats appear to have as high a standard. Now if Farmer Dan would only trade in lamb. . .
I purchased 2 of the 32oz T-Bones for a special occasion. These steaks are the best money can buy. The delivery was flawless and professional. A truly great experience from start to finish.
I met Farmer Dan from Heartstone Farm in my driveway; he was delivering a quarter side of beef. The first thing I said after our introduction was, “I’m originally from Montana, and I haven’t had a good steak since I came to Maine.” I was only half kidding. In truth, I had not really sought out good beef, mostly opting instead for convenience and the local big boxes with, what I imagine, is feedlot fair shipped from Kansas. He looked at me, smiled and said, “Ah, that’s too much pressure.” But I could tell, he was entirely kidding; he was a man who had complete confidence in what he was delivering. Now, I do not claim to be an expert on beef, but, as a kid, my backyard was a large pasture full of angus. I watched Leo Stepper, the local butcher, pull into that pasture with his old, white Chevy pickup many times. A few weeks later, it was always steak for supper. My mom could work miracles with a chuck steak. I grilled a sirloin the night after Dan made our delivery. The next day, we ordered another side of Heartstone’s grass-fed beef. My wife, who, incidentally, was born and raised in Texas, said, “I never want to buy beef from anywhere else again.” It really doesn’t get any more convenient than having a friendly, local farmer deliver high-quality beef to you in your driveway.

Having grown up on a farm where we raised our own beef, I can say with confidence that the beef from Farmer Dan is wonderful. It arrived as promised...promptly and fully frozen. I look forward to ordering again in the future!
We have only started to make our way through our chicken and beef monthly box but so far, we are very happy. Our first meal was chicken breasts, cooked on the stovetop with a light breaded crust. Juicy and tasty! The second meal, grilled outside with family and friends, were the pre-made burgers. Almost no “shrinkage” and very delicious. I am anxious to wade through the rest of the contents! Those steaks are calling my name!
We actually had a small issue with our delivery, but Farmer Dan called personally and addressed the issue — very impressive! The skirt steak was delicious. They can be difficult to find locally. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again!
