The Turkey we had for thanksgiving went very fast with a big family. It was so tasty and just the right size for us.
Heartstone's Stew/Kebab meat is the most tender stew meat I have ever had!!!! We made Dutch Oven smothered beef with it and it literally melted in your mouth....delicious!!!!! If you haven't purchased any yet make it a top priority on your next order. YUM!!!!!!!
Great Steak! All I did was add salt, pepper, and a little bit of olive oil. I roasted slowly in a 250 degree oven until the internal temp was 120. Perfect Medium Rare. Thanks Dan!
This one was challenging but only because we lost power and were on the generator for Christmas Eve. So here is the story of our Christmas Eve Heartstone Farm Prime Rib Roast, mistakes and all: I could not use our oven but could use my mom's ancient electric skillet roaster and our air fryer for side dishes. I had to call my sister to google the method for me since we also lost internet. So I trimmed the fat as instructed and probably went too far. Then I seasoned the meat simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The instructions were to preheat and roast covered for 35 minutes then turn it off and leave for an hour. Did that and should have only roasted for 20 minutes due to the lower weight than used in the recipe since it over cooked, which I know is a crime for prime rib. Maybe one or two slices got some of that nice deep pink. It was still quite tasty with homemade horsey sauce, air fried pomp frites with homemade mayo aioli, and air fried Brussels sprouts. I'm going to use some of the leftovers to make a beef chili. Next time, I won't trim so much fat and will roast for a shorter time, depending on the weight...and hopefully use my oven! 5 stars because it wasn't the meat but the circumstances and me.
Best prime rib, did not disappoint at all. Happy I found this farm and all the wonderful products available close to home.
Once again we cross paths with a great product and appreciative review. This sampler was shared with two neighbors who just thought it was terrific. I’ll be back to order more!!!!
The burgers are the best we ever have eaten ! Just like all the steaks we have ordered from you I have 3 Tomahawk steaks for Christmas eve can't wait i know they're going to be great.Thank you for having a great product.
We ordered an e gift card for our son for the holiday and it was easy to do, after payment I received notification of the card and forwarded it to my son’s email. He got the # to use and info he needed to order as well of the list of meat products to purchase. Fast & easy!
Amazing taste and quality meat. I feel that in order to make the meat more tender it should be slow roasted or even sous vide. Next time I will be prepared!
This meat looks and tastes amazing! What great service. I feel so grateful to have Farmer Dan in the Maine area, heck I feel grateful for having Farmer Dan’s do what they do and have this incredible meat available.
As always, I've very impressed by the quality and taste of the Boston Butt from Heartstone Farm especially after smoking it in my smoker. I've been buying my meat from them for the past couple of years and never been disappointed.
Dear lord! By my understanding, prime grade grass fed is not that easy to achieve, as the overall fat content in grass fed and finished beef is lower than that of its grain fed counterpart. This thing was dripping with fat! The marbling was incredible, but the texture and flavor of the fat does not lead me to think it's not grass fed/finished. This place is quickly becoming my go-to for awesome meat. We got our thanksgiving turkey here and even the kids came back for seconds. Awesome quality piece of meat from a pretty discerning customer. I've been blown away with everything I've ordered from here so far.
Best Burger ever! After eating Farmer Dans Hamburger I really notice a difference in taste and fat content compared to store bought burger. Your hamburger doesn’t have a nasty aftertaste like the grocery store. I am hooked!
Great quality. Can taste the difference!! We are very pleased to Farmer Dan’s products!
Tasty hotdog long sausage. I’d purchase again…. Both my orders have better quality than store bought.
Chop this into bites, Add a pound of ground venison, and you’ve got killer chili!
This is the second year I have ordered a turkey from Heartstone Farms. Each time they arrived on schedule, fully frozen and with the perfect instruction on defrosting. They were completely as advertised -- meaty, moist and DELICIOUS!!! Will order again next year.
Greetings Dan & Serendipity Farm from the Coast of Maine - How Blessed we are to have visionary farms , like yours, to produce outstanding products. The ham was outstanding and unique. We have a large extended family that gathered for Christmas celebration and the ham was our centerpiece meat. Gave it a slow smoker heat up, with a fig glaze and it was a rave. I've had many hams over my 68 years, but the flavor, texture, juiciness, and freshness of this ham, was like nothing I have had before! As one who raises soy & corn free poultry for our large family, I can appreciate the effort that goes into raising meat of this quality - Thank You!! - Scott Pusey
It was a hit in our family. So tasty and flavorful and just the right amount of marbling.
Farmer Dan has the best meat around and that prime rib for Christmas was superb!! All meat has been the best! Customer service is excellent! Thanks for all you do.
It was fabulous. Tender and the meat was marbled nicely. Juicy and very enjoyable. We will definately buy another next year. We cooked it smothered with compound garlic butter in a cast iron pan with quartered onion and bulb garlic with a little Rosemary and thyme sprinkled over it. It was heavenly. Thank you Farmer Dan we love your product and will be forever customers.
Looked great, cooked exactly as recommended .sorry to say it was very tough all the way through. Tried to upload photos but found no place to do that.
Best ham and prime rib, did not disappoint at all. Made a great meal for the holiday. Will be buying again. Happy Holidays!
Nice sausages, very good taste and are excellent for breakfast.
Delicious. Just found a little salty. Products rarely disappoint. Packaging arrives frozen. Meats are neatly arranged and insulation in box is recyclable. It can be used in your fire pit. I’m pleased with product and service and occasional discounts
quality and flavor outstanding !
Absolutely delicious
Fast delivery, arrived fresh, still frozen and in perfect shape. I opened the box and all the fresh cuts were properly wrapped and sealed. I cooked right away the liver. Delicious and flavorful just the way I like it. Simple, sliced an onion, when transparent added the liver (highest heat cook top) and let it fry in plenty olive oil. Seasoned and ready to eat. Awesome! Thank you. Next one I’ll take a picture ;) and if you had it for dinner hope you enjoyed :)
We have been absolutely loving our delivery! Delivery was quick, and everything was perfectly packaged. The color of the meat is amazing, and you can see the quality even when it’s frozen. Every item that we have tried has been 10 times better than anything you can get in a grocery store. I’ve been telling all of my family and friends to give it a try! 10/10 recommend!
The Steak Burger Patties cooked up great. Paired them with a potato salad. Made for a delicious late fall meal.
My favorite online beef deal right now. Loving breakfast more than ever!
We had to have a late Thanksgiving to have family able to visit. We have really enjoyed the turkey and that last but has made a wonderful soup. We have the second one for Christmas time. Thanks!
My order arrived promptly completely still frozen. I cooked the NY sirloin with eggs for supper and it was DELICIOUS! Tender and flavorful! Will definitely order again after Christmas! Keep up the good work!
5 STARS - Heartsone Farm meat is incredibly consistent, flavorful, nutrient rich, and is the best! Thank you Farmer Dan and Team! I've tried every cut of beef and can assure anyone that is looking to make your first purchase that you won't be disappointed. The packaging, the service, the shipping time, the entire experience is the best in the business. I've been buying quality beef from Hearstone Farm since August of 2021 - and will continue to purchase their products for as long as they'll let me. Standouts for me: Roasts (Chuck and Brisket), Steaks (Ribeye and Porterhouse), Steak Burgers, Ground Beef, and yes pork (pork chops and bacon) and chicken products (whole chickens, chicken thighs, and Turkeys) from their quality partners (The Turkey for Thanksgiving 2022 was the best I've served). I will make it a point to start taking pictures in 2023!
I recently purchased several cuts of beef from Heartstone . Finally I have meat the way it should taste! The flavor is out of this world delicious!
Great product, ships quickly and no questions on where your meat comes from. No regrets here, love all products
The beat turkey I have had in years! Had 20 people over and they all agreed it was delicious!
Moist delicious meaty. No fat, so plan your gravy accordingly! Recommended times were grossly overstated…20 lb turkey perfect in 2-1/2 hrs! Watch your Thermometer
I am submitting a review because farmer Dan is offering a $10 coupon for reviews. I will never use this coupon because I would not order from Heartstone farm again. I ordered 2 turkeys from them as I have done with other places the last 8 years and Heartstone is the only place in 8 years to send both turkeys at the exact minimum weight stated. If I ordered tow 10-13lbs turkeys other places I have never once received an exact 10lbs turkey. 10.5 and 12.5 yes, but never both at the exact minimum. They said giblets would be included, but they were not besides the neck guess adding the other giblets may have put the turkey .1 oz over the minimum. This place is 100% about profits and not customer service maybe a "small farm"; but definitely big commercial farm mentality. I would definitely go to place like Circle C farm out of FL. White Oak Pasture among others over using Heartstone again.
We are so grateful for the incredibly delicious chuck roast and the easy order with fast delivery! Definitely add to your life by ordering your favorites from Heartstone Farm!
We had such a wonderful experience ordering from Heartstone Farm. We ordered 10 pounds of delicious hamburger and a lovely chuck roast that we saved to have on Christmas day. It was so good! so tender and lovely. We will definitely be ordering again very soon! Thank you Farmer Dan and staff for packaging our order with excellence! We are so grateful to have found this local New England Farm that we can support knowing they take such good care of their animals. -The Corbitt Family
An amazing Prime Rib! The entire family enjoyed it! We also had enough left over for French Dip Sandwiches the next day!
First time ordering the prime rib and will not be the last! everyone raved on the flavor so much better than store bought! Thanks again!
I roasted your prime rib for Christmas dinner and it was a huge success - so delicious and tender. It is hard to describe how much nicer the flavor and texture was when compared with supermarket meats. All I can say is for folks to try it and they won't be disappointed.
Our surf n turf dinner was excellent !! I wish we had taken a photo - it was photo worthy believe me !! Farmer Can never disappoints with his Heartstone quality . From the beautifully boxed holiday meal at delivery to the superb flavors, it was A+. As always......Thank you Farmer Dan and staff ! Frank & Kristy Muraca
Roast was tender and flavorful. Ive not had anything from Hearthstone Farm that wasnt amazing. Shipping was fast, as always. Packing materials top notch.
I love Filet Mignon, but I found these filets were under whelming. First: They were small and shaped odd. Second: They had a strip of fat going down the center. Third: I thought they had mistakenly put stew beef in the package or steak tip. I'm a fan of Hearthstone farms meat, but not these underwelming filets. Update: I thawed the filets and cooked them. Delicious!!!!! I retract my previous review. These steaks were delicious, tender, and high quality. I will refrain from doing reviews in the future until I have thawed and tasted the product. I would order these again.
I had my Holiday box of meat sent to my Brother for his Christmas present and he was thrilled! Said I had filled his freezer with meat for the whole winter! Sadly, I will not be able to sample any of those delicious selections as they are inhabiting his freezer - not mine. I am looking forward to enjoying my next monthly selection at my house. Thank you for making my Brother (and me) so happy!
The best filet I have ever had in my life. I can’t wait until they restock!
This is the best chicken I have had in many years. I usually purchase organic chicken but never bothered to read whether it was pasture raised or not. I purchased the pasture raise spatchcock chicken and wow what a taste. It was delicious, tender and tasty just like years back. You cannot go wrong with purchasing chicken from Farmer Dan. The proof is in the taste.
It is a fairly seasoned sausage, but it lacks that heat I expect. If possible a third sweet heat would be ideal
The ribeyes are packed full of flavor! You can taste the quality! In fact everything in our package is too notch!!
Excellent product! Fresh, juicy, and full of flavor.
I got a gift card for my son last year for Christmas. He has raved many times about the meat he has ordered over this past year. So, of course I did it again this year! The ordering process was seamless, and it arrived in my inbox same day.
Definitely worth the time and money getting good grass fed beef from Heartstone. It tastes better and it’s safer and healthier.
I have have ordered the flat iron steak as part of my subscription box. It is very delicious and tasty. I like to use it to make fajitas. Just got my latest order and will enjoying the flat iron steak along all the other great meat.
Great meat! I cooked it in the oven for a few hours and finished on the grill. The bones practically fell out. So good!
I was born and raised in Philadelphia, so I consider a Philly cheesesteak to be haut cuisine. But, in the 40 years I have lived in Maine, I have not found any place that really makes an authentic one. So, when I have one it is generally when I make it myself at home. While I have always thought the shaved steak I bought at the local supermarket chains was okay, trying to find really good sub rolls was still a problem. So I ordered Heartsone Farms shaved steak for making Philly cheesesteaks at home. I used half of a one pound package. sliced it into smaller pieces, and dried it so it would sear and not poach in its own juices. I fried some mushrooms and onions, and put a couple pieces of provolone on the roll and heated it briefly so it would melt. I will try to attach the photo I took when it was done, but I put the cheese, mushrooms, and onions on the roll first so it wouldn't hide the steak in the photo. I found the shaved steak to be really flavorful, way better than what I had getting from the supermarket. It was also very tender, which isn't surprising because it is shaved so thin. Like it has done with its ground beef, Heartsone Farm has made the effort to elevate the meat for a simple dish like a cheesesteak. And, for my Philly-born taste, it shows in the finished product. Now, if only I could find decent rolls!
The turkey arrived in plenty of time. It was delicious.
This Turkey was so moist and good, no regrets here. Freshly grown and shipped without any issues.you must try. Meats are great!
Very good customer service; but the turkeys were exceptional, great in freshness and flavor. Will order again!
Everyone loved the turkey! It was delicious with minimal work.
Everyone gave this turkey rave reviews! We should have had leftovers, but it was picked clean to the bone. Looked great and tasted even better. I glazed it with butter, olive oil and honey, coarse Kosher salt and a bit of pepper, and placed a navel orange in the cavity.
Absolutely juicy and tasty just how we love our steak! Everything at Farmer Dan’s is delicious. We look forward to our orders.
Hearthstone farm meats are the best ! Well worth the money. The Prime Rib Roast was delicious !
Best chicken wings I’ve tried ! Very meaty amid moist! Thank you!
Everyone enjoyed the prime, came packaged well and had no complaints.
This was a spectacular prime rib! The quality was outstanding! The entire family enjoyed our holiday meal! We will be repeat customers!!
Excellent service and met our expectations! Everything was delivered well organized and fully frozen.
Bought the shaved steak for my brother and his family. They prepared cheesesteak sandwiches the day after the gift package arrived. They texted me saying the steak sandwiches were delicious and sent these pictures.
Wow! Just wow! This is our second meal from one rack of St. Louis ribs from Heartstone Farm and we couldn’t be any happier. Delicious slow cooked in the oven with our favorite rub. Enjoy!
Our tomahawk steak was tender and delicious and fun to cook and share with our friends!
Really tasty. Excellent flavor. Beets the store bought sausage for sure.
The filet mignon tastes like a Mayer chef prepared it! The meat is so wholesome & flavorful!! We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of the meat packages we received from Heartstone Farm! We even upgraded our package to the next size up since we loved it so much!
I pr ordered Heatsone Farm Organic Pasture-Raised Turkey on October 3rd. The notification was saying that the turkeys would be sent out on November 14th. On November 14th I received an email indication my turkey was sent out. The shipping time advertised was 3 business days and I did indeed receive my turkey within 3 business days. The turkey has arrived in a box which was secured with some recyclable material which has made me very happy because I like buying environment friendly items. The bird was solid frozen and I put it right inside the fridge. I started defrosting it 3 days before Thanksgiving. I brined for 24 hours and they I seasoned it before putting in the oven. It baked for a little over 4 hours, since my bie.rd was 16 lbs. The turkey baked so well and evenly. The meat was so soft and moist it was falling off the bone. I am used to getting a turkey from a grocery store so this year's turkey was very different. I could tell the difference how it tasted and also it's tenderness and moist flesh. I would definitely buy it again in the upcoming years. All my family members enjoyed it and I have received a lot of questions where I got the bird from.
We made a Cast Iron chicken over the weekend and all I have to say is "DELICIOUS"!! The quality of the chicken can be tasted - it was light in texture and very juicy and required LESS TIME to cook than conventional factory-raised chickens! I cannot wait to try my steak burgers next! I love and standby Heartstone; from their story as to how they raise their animals to how they pack the meats and the promise they make on tasting the difference -- and you certainly do! Thank you, Farmer Dan, for the handwritten note in my Box, and thank you Melissa for packing it well! Definitely will be re-ordering again! Pascale M.
Always excellent cuts of meat. Very tender and delicious. Wonderful customer service also.
Occassional Chuck steaks n way too much tuna got me through my college years. Hadn't had any chuck steak in decades. As w/all of Dan's meats, these steaks arrived butchered n sealed as pretty as you please. His butcher really does an exemplary job. Had one of these the other night. It was delicious. Much cheaper than Rib Eye steak, n tastes even better (I like the fat). Thanks, Dan.
Can’t say enough good things about Heartstone farm, this is my third time making Fajitas, the meat is so tender and tasty and my family loves them! So happy that I came across an ad from Heartstone Farm on Facebook we love all the beef, chicken and even had beef liver….delicious!
the Organic Pasture-Raised Turkey From Maine was the best tasting turkey I have ever had.
For the past two years, my turkey arrived when promised, in great condition, still frozen. The directions Hearthstone Farm sent were very helpful and my turkeys turned out moist and delicious! Thank you! Carolyn Huntington
A huge hit. Everyone loved it. So happy with everything I get from Heartstonefarm.me
The Steak Burgers are absolutely amazing! Unlike any burger we’ve ever had - full of rich delicious meaty flavor but not at all greasy. They don’t shrivel up when cooked so the result is yummy and satisfying. These burgers are a regular on our order list!
The most thoroughly frozen food item that I have been shipped by anyone! Extremely well packed. And, delivered on time when promised. I spatchcocked and dry brined turkey with Kosher Salt 48 hours. Turkey roasted perfectly, was delicious and moist. The skin was incredibly crispy. Price was a bit steep though. Heartstone Farm overall and their products rates 4.5 stars.
