Greetings All, I'm a no nonsense kind of cook. I simply (cast iron) pan fried my chuck steak, with onions, in a little butter. No fuss and mmm...the best!
Ground beef at Heartstone Farm is awesome! Best grass fed beef I’ve ever had!
wonderful product, even better people
Great quality meat, packaged well, and easy delivery. We will definitely be ordering from Heartstone regularly.
Their grass fed beef is delicious. The owner & staff are friendly & generous. I highly recommend
The beef brisket I ordered was delicious. The owner couldn't be kinder. The whole experience was wonderful. Looking forward to cooking up the ribeyes.Thank you farmer Dan
The meat is incredible and just as incredible is the service Dan provides. Thanks Dan!
Love the stew meat, it's so versatile, especially when using your crock pot. I've made stew (of course), but also seasoned for tacos and burritos, cook low and slow all day for chili, and simmered with gravy til it's fall-apart tender for both rice and potatoes. It's tender and delicious, one of my favorites.
Hi Dan, I liked it a lot, I was looking for a long time for natural meat, thank you very much
My husband and I loved your beef! We will definitely be ordering more. What a difference from our grocery store beef!
This steak was amazing. It had a large slice of fillet to go along with the sirloin and great marbling. The steaks arrived with plenty of cold padding and was in pristine condition. The steaks tasted great and better than the store. This steak did not have a gamey flavor at all which can be an issue with farm raised beef. 5/5 would highly recommend.
The Rib eye steaks we recently had from Heartstone Farm were honestly the best we've ever had -- and we've had many! Perfectly marbled and so full of flavor. Plus, having the opportunity to visit the farm made me feel so great about the meat I was consuming and the small business that I was supporting. They truly could not treat their cows or the planet any better. Can't wait for the next one...
Best burger I've had since the last time I ordered beef from Farmer Dan!! Awesome flavor!
We really enjoyed visiting Heartstone Farm on Maine open farm day. It was a beautiful property, nice people and the lunch they served was great! The beef is of high quality and you can tell they love what they do.
The love and care that goes into making Heartstone Farm Beef can be tasted in every bite - our family doesn’t eat any other brand of beef now - it’s just that much better.
Without a doubt, the best ground beef I have EVER had.
These hamburgers are delicious, flavorful and juicy. Each quarter pound slice measures almost five inches by one half in thickness. Sear the outside and cook not more than four to five minutes and you have one great burger!
I'm so glad I tried your soup bones. I don't regret spending the money on the order. They made the best beef broth ever. Thank you very much.
Farmer Dan's steaks are the best--I have full confidence in every beef cut he sells. I regularly receive a griller box during the summer. The rib-eye steaks, in particular, are completely delish! You can't fake excellent quality meat--it either is or isn't. I love this grass-fed, grass-finished beef and only get beef from Farmer Dan now. Glad to support his business, too, a local Maine farmer! Beef is carefully packaged, and delivered in a timely manner. Couldn't ask for more.
I’m impressed and I am from NY. First the handwritten note card is a very nice touch. Now let’s begin with the liver. No metallic flavor, tender when cooked and sweet. The rib eye... that was next - not gamey tasting and although frozen it was delicious! I just ordered more liver and now bones. I’m on a carnivore diet so I need my meat to be top notch. The butcher in manhattan is much more money and frankly I’m just impressed. I don’t trust the supermarket meat because although it says grass fed is it grass finished? And where is it from??!
So I am relatively new to Heartstone Farm. To date I have tried the rib eye steaks which are flavorful and tender and so far my favorite. Now, having tried the filet mignon, my favorite steak has competition. The filet was tremendous, nice and thick and the most tender steak I have tried from Heartstone or any other purveyor. Great flavor, a real treat.
After receiving my last order from Farmer Dan, I made our favorite beef stew with Dan’s stew beef. The stew was so delicious we couldn’t stop eating it! I’ve made this stew many times before, but the grass fed stew meat made the favor so much better. We definitely will order more in the future.
Nice and meaty great flavor. Arrived on time still frozen. Would not hesitate to order again. Good value.
So, a while ago I happened to come across a recipe in food network by Ina Garten (barefoot contessa), for beef short ribs. With the weather changing I though “just what I need, comfort food. I ordered six ribs from Heartstone Farm in addition to my regular order for ribeye steaks. I have previously purchased short ribs from my local supermarket so I assumed I would need 6. The short ribs Dan sent were substantially larger and beefier than any I had previously enjoyed so 4 ribs did the job. Wow, what a treat. The flavor was outstanding, I will order again to be ready for cold nights.
We love this beef! It is excellently packaged and so fresh when thawed. The chuck roast was wonderful as a meal in the slow cooker. We”be been eating Farmer Dan’s beef a few times a week, now, and the chuck roast is the same top quality as all the other cuts. Thank you!
These were wonderful, beefy burgers. We will be ordering again very soon!
Excellent beef! Full of flavor and nicely packaged too. I believe it’s better then most and a fair price with quick shipping.
Excellent filet mignon. Filets mignon were packaged and frozen. Delicious. Part of steak package included rib eye and t-bone. Filet
I was not going to submit a review for this because.....liver. I HATE liver! There, I said it. I have never wanted to eat it and only decided to bite the proverbial bullet because my health is severely compromised and everyone tells me liver will help. So - I ordered the liver. i literally prayed before eating it because I had always vomited when I ate liver, ever since I was a 2 year old. I could never stomach the taste. Well, imagine my surprise when I fried it up with tons of onions and salt and took a bite and was able to swallow it. Not only that, it was tender, flavorful but not with that awful strong, nauseating liver flavor but just a mild meaty flavor. I can eat this liver! I'm stunned and will ALWAYS get my liver from Heartstone Farm in the future. Good stuff!
The beef is good but took some time to get after order placed. However, I will try again, could have been a random issue. Also, I will post after the next order.
I recently received my very first order of grass-fed liver from Heartstone Farm. I prepared some a few days ago and to put it succinctly, I loved it! From the convenient packaging to the enclosed cooking tips, along with a personal phone call to me when I discovered I’d transposed a letter in my email address, Farmer Dan is producing a superior product and knows how to make a customer feel like family. Thank you, Farmer Dan! Roz Stewart Mount Laurel, NJ
This is the best Beef I have ever eaten! After my visit to your farm and observing your beautiful fields of grass I can see why. Your beef critters were very happy in the field and looked so healthy! Feeling good knowing that I pay a little more for quality beef with No Chemicals! I'll be back soon!!
We bought Heartstone’s ground beef after attending Heartstone Farm’s open farm event. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the farm and its philosophy. The cows are HAPPY, living and eating on beautiful, grass fields with their herd. The farmers were compassionate and passionate of the cows and their work on the farm. They informed us of the practices in place and why they have chosen to raise beef cattle in this holistic, very natural manner. But most of all, you could taste it in the meat. Its delicious and juicy and makes you feel good that you're eating a happy cow!
Great beef and great service. The meat is packaged nicely and arrives completely frozen. The beef tastes great. I buy many bone-in cuts, and the amount of flesh is generous. Go Dan! My only suggestion would be to add heart, kidney, knuckle bones, and suet to the product list. There are so many reasons to eat nose-to-tail.
Everything we have tried is delicious thank you 😊
Good stuff from a friendly farmer. The real deal beef. Butcher could use some practice but that doesnt change it from being excellent beef.
Steak on grill; steak on plate; bite and chew; eyes roll back in head and mouth making yummy sounds. Other than posting a video, that's as graphic a description of this mouth watering steak as I can write. If you don't buy this beef, you are missing out on a real culinary treat.
The best burgers I have ever had. They are huge but taste so good. I would recommend these to anyone that truly loves great meat.
chopped meat is excellent just ordered 4oz patties for summer grilling have to say, work out to our satisfaction
Hello, We love your beef tongue for our Shabu Shabu. The shipment is excellent as well. Thank you again.
The beef liver was delicious. I love how it was packaged. I received it still frozen. Looking forward to purchasing more beef.
If you like short ribs, like we do, you will love these. I braised them & they were simply delicious. Tender juicy you won't be disappointed
Fantastic cuts of meat, and not just the Filet Mignon. This is our second order from Heartstone and Farmer Dan - and I can tell you it won't be our last! So far, each cut we've had has natural flavor and grills up perfectly! And we feel better knowing that it's hormone free, etc. Keep up the good work!
I received my order of 10 lbs Grass Fed Liver in such a timely manner and it was packaged very well. I'm not a fan of liver, but I know it's nutritional and I required to add it to my Keto diet. I'm still getting use to eating liver but this liver was not hard to consume. It was fresh and clean and I felt better eating it than liver I would buy from the local grocery or food market. Heartstone Farm has helped me take on the challenge of making liver part of my every day diet and now I feel I am acquiring a healthy taste for it. Thank You Heartstone Farm. I will be ordering from you again soon.
I was so happy to find someone who sells cow tongue. It is delicious!!! We boiled it for 4 hours, let cool off, pull skin off, cut up and added to bowl of vinegar and onions. My husband loves it!!
I just cooked thebeef liver I purchased from you and it was very good!! I would definitely recommend it to other liver lovers! Tender and very tasty....I was real pleased. Thank you, Farmer Dan!
Tried both the N.Y. Strips as well as the ribeye. Both were excellent quality and taste. Will be back for more!
I hadn't bought ground beef in ages, but after I tried the ground beef from the Heartstone Farm sampler pack, I was very happy to buy more. So good!
Always exceptional flavor and color. I don't get ribeyes anywhere else since I tried Heartstone.
My husband and I were delighted with the beef we ordered. This was our second time and we ordered the beef in the morning and Farmer Dan delivered it the SAME DAY because he had a delivery to make in our town! What great service!!
Good guality hamberger and great flavor however I was a little disipointed in the steak to hamburger ratio. Will go to the farm next time to pick out what I want😁
Trying to satisfying my curiosity, what’s the difference between super market beef and grass fed, grass finished beef, I purchased a sample package from Heartstone Farm and have been hooked ever since. The quarter share works well for out family, plenty of steaks ( ribeye, T-bone, porterhouse, London broil, tenderloin), roasts (chuck, eye round, brisket), burger, short ribs, soup bones and more. I’ve made pastrami and corned beef with briskets, smoked a boneless Chuck Roast. This is the most flavorful beef I have ever eaten. I especially like dealing directly with the farmer, just a great group of people and animals. You gotta try it out.
My wife, her sister and her husband and I visited Heartstone Farm last Sunday for the open house. We all were very impressed with Dan and his crew and their dedication to providing the best quality grass fed beef. The farm is beautiful and peaceful and well worth the visit. We purchased some burger patties and I can say without a doubt they are the best. My wife’s sister purchased 2 T-bone steaks and 5 pounds of ground beef and have already re-ordered though the web-site more because of the high quality and taste. I would urge everyone to try out some of Heartsone’s beef because you will definitely like it.
I purchased my first set of hamburger meat the other week from Hearthstone Farm. I will never go anywhere else for burger meat now. My kids absolutely loved it and so did my wife and I. I highly recommend you pick some up and give it a try
Wow! The short ribs are great! I smoked some this weekend and wow the best I have ever made. All of the meat realy looks nice and great packaging. Farmer Dan you have a new customer for sure plus now all my friends and neighbors know. Thank's for everything and the extra ground beef was really nice, I made burgers the same day it got delivered.
Without a doubt, the best ground beef I have EVER had.
Farmer Dan, Thank you for the delicious rib eyes, best I have had in many years.. will be ordering more.
The best burger I've ever tasted. Great beefy flavor and perfect fat content. So glad I found Heartstone Farm. I like that it is a Maine grown meat.
I just cooked my first order of the liver I purchased and it was beyond amazing. I am a huge fan of liver and have been searching for a supply that is pasture raised. I have found my solution. Thank you guys so much for your hard work in helping me put properly raised food on the table. Definitely will be ordering again asap. ~ Deana Z
Hi Farmer Dan, The stew beef was fork tender, just the right size, and plain ole delicious. I personally had a great recipe...salt, pepper and eat!!! LOL I used a pressure cooker for 10 minutes...uh, simply the best. Take Care, D.
I had never cooked brisket, but wanted to duplicate the Jewish deli sandwiches I used to get in NY, so I ordered one from Farmer Dan. It was out of this world good!! Tender, juicy, just what I was looking for. I'll have to order another one soon! I'm hooked on their beef!
These filets are wonderful...tender, juicy and delicious! My favorite things...cattle is humanely raised, supporting a small, local farm, super fast delivery, DELICIOUS beef and a personal note from Farmer Dan...perfect!
I love the beef from Heartstone Farm. Always cooks up tender and has great flavor! It does not matter which cut of beef it is, always delicious!!!!!!
We are new customers of Heartstone Farm and new to “grazed in Maine” beef. Today we cooked our first piece, a 4 lb Chuck Roast. It was flavorful and of great texture, seriously the best pot roast we have ever made! We purposely used minimal seasoning, so we could taste the full flavor of the beef, and we were pleasantly surprised. We live in Virginia and will be purchasing our “grazed in Maine” Heartstone Farm 100% grass-fed beef from Farmer Dan! Friendly customer service and a well-packed shipment top off our wonderful experience. Thank you Farmer Dan.
Farmer Dan and his farming team are the real McCoys. If you east meat, This is the only way to go.
The t-bone and ribeye steaks I ordered were delicious. I had family over this past weekend and we grilled them up and had a lovely dinner. It's nice to know that I am feeding my family not only a great tasting meal but also a healthy organic one. I can't wait until cheeseburger night! Thank you Farmer Dan!
This is a very nice product. You get both meat and bone with bone marrow. Some cuts have more meat and some have more bone. On average, the ratio is about 60:40 (meat:bone) by volume. These are too meaty to make stock, but perfect for soups. Soup bones do require several hours to cook, but the result is delicious.
We grew up in Romania, both my wife and I. Not that it matters. What matters is that we grew up with unprocessed meat, from our back yard small barns. Heartsone Farm is bringing back the taste of childhood. There are other suppliers out there, of course, but the quality of their meat, along with the price they are asking for it , is hard to beat. Aside,Farmer Dan is the way “ customer service” should be. Prompt. Enjoying the steak, yet?
The short ribs were delicious and I would not hesitate in ordering them again
Fantastic beef! My order was shipped quickly and arrived the next day. Beef was still frozen and packaged so nicely with great care. Will not buy store-bought beef ever again after having a great first experience purchasing Heartstone Farm’s Rib Eye Steaks as well as other beef products. Looking forward to placing another order. Highly recommend Heartstone Farm.
Excellent meat - tastes like beef should taste.
We cooked the ribeye on the grill and it came out awesome! The steak was moist and so flavorful, no steak sauce, onions or peppers are needed, enjoying it just as it is so we could taste the real flavor of the steak. So happy to have found Heartstone Farm!
They have the best tasting beef in Maine!
Our kabob meat did not disappoint. It was tender and lean; we will definitely have more on our next order.
Absolutely the best ground beef I have tasted since we had our own farm and raised our own cows! Wish I found Heartstone Farm a long time ago. Recommend everyone try it
OUTSTANDING! Your liver tastes the way liver used to taste when I was a child, in the days before the world turned crazy, the days after the way when pesticides became "GOD" . I could not believe the taste in my mouth. It melted in my mouth. I chewed the soft tender delightful ............... It was like being home again. This is very good liver. I could taste the world, the grass the sky, I know I am over doing it but you've got something special here! Thank you very much I am glad I discovered you farm. Whatever you are doing - it is the GOOD!
I love this grass fed liver! The taste is amazing and the personal touch of writing a thank- you note and including it in my package was amazing! All the meat came in no time straight to my door :-) I’ll be back for more!
These steaks are so flavorful you can't help but love them I have been eating hearthstone beef for 2 years and hope to for many more. This is the place to buy them.
