Farmer Dan, Thank you for the delicious rib eyes, best I have had in many years.. will be ordering more.
Guiltless hamburgers! What more could you ask for? Great taste, you say? Well, with Farmer Dan's grass fed and grass finished beef you get great tasting AND healthy burgers. What's not to like?
Grilled the ribeye last night. WoW! What flavor. FYI even if you have a hubby who is not the greatest griller his well done steak was still tender juicy and delicious. Mine was the perfect medium rare! Farmer Dan and Heartstone Farm is the best thing I have come across in a long time. Thank you for what you do!
Loved the beef brisket!!! My husband loved it also !! Slow cooked it all day & it came out amazing !!
Heartstone farm Beef is without question the best tasting beef that I have ever eaten. Plus the fact that is all grass fed without any antibiotics. Also extremely tender as well. This was my second order of their steak and burger. Will be ordering again soon. R. Kenney
I am so pleased with the service and product. The beef was the best we have ever had and I will only be purchasing here from now on. Impressive!
I have had two of the skirt steaks and they are just as flavorful as all the other cuts of Heartstone beef. Heartstone is the best beef out there.
The beef from Farmer Dan @ Heartstone Farms is the best quality beef Ive ever had. I highly recommend placing an order, to see for yourself. I have been recommending Heartstone Farms to all my friends. I just canceled an online grass-fed beef service, because Farmer Dans quality of beef is so much better. I cant say enough about their shipping / customer service process, its also top notch. Try the beef, you will not be disappointed & your taste buds will be happy.
they have the best beef ever love it and quick delivery
Very juicy, good taste, excellent beef
I recommend everything about Heartstone Farm! Farmer Dan actually communicates with people...PLUS, and the most important, his beef is absolutely THE BEST hands down. His liver is sweet and tender and the beef is the freshest and tastiest of any/all the "grass fed" I have ever acquired.
We made burgers with the ground beef as soon as we got our shipment from Farmer Dan. Which, by the way, was packed with so much care and everything was still frozen solid. The burgers were hands down the best I've ever had at home. I will definitely continue to order from Heartstone, and you should too!
I always love the ground beef from Heartstone but I love all of Heartstone's beef but being one person, I don't need a lot. It has a wonderful flavor and doesn't shrink when it is cooked. When the ground is browned, it needs oil added because it is so lean.
Great customer service & beyond excellent quality meats.
I don't typically write reviews on any of my purchases. I want to thank Farmer Dan for the excellent customer service and the quality of the products. This is the best beef I've ever purchased. Thank you for all your hard work.
I had not had dry cured meat for many years until a restaurant a while back. I started looking for dry cured meat and I found farmer Dan. Then after reading his site and him calling me after I left a message on his site and realizing the meat was not grain fattened. I had paid for a farmer to not grain his cow for me back in 85 and the meat was wonderful . Now my search for dry cured and non grained meat was looking at me. So I ordered a sampler and 10 lbs of hamburger. Was i surprised. The meat was vacuumed sealed and looked great. That wasn't the end. Then i started cooking it. All I can say is amazing. I haven't had that good tasting meat in a long time. So far we have had two pounds of hamburger and the roast. The only surprise (not really) was that it had great flavor. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to more in the future. Dan has captured me as a happy customer that will come back again and again.
The beef is by far some of the best I have ever had and I think we've been spoiled for life! I made some beef stew in the crock pot with the stew meat over the weekend and the other night used the hamburg to make taco meat for taco salads. What I've learned is that I under purchased. I'll have to purchase a larger share next go around and pick up some pieces here and there along the way. After receiving all that hamburg I figured there was no way I would go through it all, but here I am a good portion through it already. Chili, burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, tacos, etc. I don't normally leave reviews for really anything, either good nor bad. This I'm making an exception! This is too good not to share. It really is worth the money is case anyone reading this was wondering.
My Aunt sent us a package of meat from Heartstone Farm--best present- makes for a lovely gift or, just treat yourself to some good meat! We only tried the roast so far and it was delicious- tender and juicy. Can't wait to try the chuck meat and stewing meat.
What a great find! So far I have had the ground beef and NY Sirloin. They were lean and tasted delicious and fresh. It was nice to know the meat was raised and processed locally and not handled several times. Also, delivery was very prompt. I will definitely buy again!
We decided to make the switch to Heartstone Farm’s grass-fed beef for a few reasons: 1) Health benefits vs. regular store bought grain-fed beef 2) Farmer Dan treats his animals with the best care you could imagine (Check our the website) 3) We wanted to support a local farmer with our same ideals regarding food sourcing In August 2018, my first quarter of Heartstone Farm beef was hand-delivered by Farmer Dan himself. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as this was my first experience with high quality grass-fed beef. It is now Thanksgiving, and my girlfriend and I couldn’t be happier with our purchase. We have thoroughly enjoyed all cuts of steaks including, ribeyes, filet mignon, t-bones, porterhouse, and more! The beef is lean, but still tender and full of flavor, which is most likely a direct result of the “dry-age” process. The quarter share came with around 40 lb of burger, and we have used it for just about everything, from Plain ol’ burgers (which are amazing) to tacos, and spaghetti. There is barely any fat to drain, and the meat has a delicious flavor that you just don’t get from the supermarket. There are also a lot of roasts and other misc cuts included in a quarter share. We cooked 1/2 chuck roasts with garlic, onion, potatoes, and carrots, and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. We had so much beef in the first quarter, we were able to give our parents some as a gift, and they also thought it was delicious. Now that it is Winter, we can’t wait to try out the stew meat in my Dad’s chili recipe, or a nice beef stew. If you are thinking about trying some of this beef, you won’t regret it! We still have a bunch left from our first quarter, and our next quarter is being delivered next week. We haven’t bought an ounce of beef from the supermarket since August! Thanks Farmer Dan, and all of you at Heartstone Farm!

This is the best tasting grass fed beef ever
Fantastic grassfed beef. It's a night and day difference. Shipping was incredibly fast, delivery was prompt. A personalized card in each order. Honestly, it was such a fantastic buying experience that I cannot wait to purchase more.
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.
As a first time customer, I grilled some Heartstone Farm sirloin steaks for my family for dinner last night. The steaks were so flavorful and delicious that any leftovers were scarce! I am very happy with the order, and can't wait to receive my quarter share later this week. Looking forward to enjoying Heartstone Farm products all summer long!
Great flavor, just another quality item from Heartstone Farm. Best beef by far!!!
Really enjoyed the short ribs I purchased with my monthly order of beef... tasty... you can’t beat grass fed beef. Larry G
We began with a cow share. The beef was so flavorful that we are now buying steaks throughout the summer. This is by far the best beef we have ever eaten. We don’t buy any beef in the grocery store because it can’t compare to Heartstone Farm beef. We like to know who grows our beef.
The brisket was great and it was nice and temder amd tje f;avpr was excellent I would definately purchas this and all the items that farmer dan has to offer. I placed my first order and will be purchasing many more.
Exceptional meat products, and great service. The meat is flavorful and very pretty coloring.

Without a doubt, Heartstone ground beef is the best beef I have ever eaten! I am thrilled to have such a quality source for all my beef needs! In fact, I just placed another order, this time for rib eye steaks! I am so pleased that I heard about Heartstone Farm!
My wife and I both grew up on beef cattle farms and were skeptical on the taste of grass fed beef compared to corn fed beef. We were pleasantly surprised and have since reordered from Heartstone Farms. One great steak! Thanks Farmer Dan!
This was seriously the best burger we’ve ever had at home! I could never go back to grocery store ground beef!
Best grass fed ground beef I’ve ever had!
Best grass-fed beef I've ever had! Farmer Dan is a great guy and clearly cares a lot about his cows. Highly recommend this beef!

As of today I have only had the chopped meat had burgers on the grill and they were delicious much different from my local food market. Having family over on Sunday plan on having the roast.

Prime Rib...it looks awesome!!
I love having a Maine source for beef. This is delicious, and having this available is a wonderful change of pace from the normal beef that you would get from a grocery store. No comparison. Hands down, the freshest and best!
There's nothing like Heartstone Farm beef! It's fantastic!
Best beef I've ever tasted!

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.
Very fortunate to have seen Farmer Dan and is herd this past week. He prepared some ribeye and it was so moist and tender. Don’t miss out and order from Heartstone as you won’t regret it. #grassfedbeef
We love Heartstone Farm ground beef! It has so much flavor and very little fat. It's conveniently packaged in 1 lb. Portions. We are very impressed with the quality of meat and customer service!
Best meat that I have ever eaten and customer service cannot be beat! The owner of this operation is first class. I had company and barbecued different thing that I ordered from Farmer Dan. Everyone raved!
Thank you once again Farmer Dan for some amazing tasting beef, your sirloin steaks are full of so much flavor. I can’t thank you enough for the quality beef that you raise.
Love the quality of the beef. I typically purchase the ground beef, short ribs, and stew meat as they are all quite versatile for preparing dinners and they are all delicious. I've enjoyed a couple of roasts for winter comfort food and a brisket (home made pastrami is the best and the small brisket was perfect). For outdoor summer dinner with friends, the kabobs are a nice easy treat on the grill with burgers. I also love that I can purchase from a local Maine farm and have it delivered.
All the steaks and hamburger are absolutely delicious. It’s good to know it’s local and I don’t have to ever worry about any recalls. No antibiotics just delicious meat. I highly recommend

Purchased patties and one pound packages. The burgers cooked up great on the grill. Made a chili with one of the packages, it came out great. The flavor of both was excellent.

Without a doubt, the best ground beef I have EVER had.
The best darned ground beef I have ever had!!!
Used the ground beef from Heartstone Farm for my Finnish meatballs and they were a big hit. What makes meatballs Finnish? Allspice.
Great tasting beef. I like that it's grass-fed and locally grown. What a find.
Totally enjoyed the beef we ordered. We will definitely order again. Thanks so much.
As of today I have only had the chopped meat had burgers on the grill and they were delicious much different from my local food market. Having family over on Sunday plan on having the roast.
The liver is THE BEST I have ever had. Truly. I have bought from other grass fed farms and they don't compare. You must really know what you are doing. Your beef AND you liver are truly superb. Thanks so much.

We had some ribeye steaks for Christmas and they were some of the best steaks we have had in a long time. Tinder and juicy. Thank you Farmer Dan. Donnie Tate Charleston Maine

Excellent steaks, stew meat, brisket and ground beef, flavorful, fatty just great! This is my go to place for all things beef. Thanks Farmer Dan for raising cows the humane, right way.
I have ordered twice from this farm and find the quality of the meat superb! If I had a second freezer I would order more!

Deep the liver and let it rest for 6 hours or best for overnight Heat grill at max temperature and grill liver for no more than a minute of each side Enjoy it Thank you again Dan Great service and products
I purchased some grass fed liver and the quality of the meat is top notch. I live in California and the package arrived quickly and extremely well packaged. Highly recommended and I look forward to my next purchase!
Very Good Service. I ordered liver and beef ribs and they arrived in great condition!! Highly recommend!!
I have tried other grass fed beef products and Hartlstone farm beef products are the best tasting ever. I will only buy from Farmer Dan.
My family does not eat much red meat. So when we do use ground beef for spaghetti, beef burritos or hamburgers, we want the best quality meat we can get; Maine grazed, grass fed beef from Heartstone Farm, that is delivered to our door, is the best choice of ground beef for my family; it's very flavorful and reassuring to know of it's high quality origin.

Was skeptical at first at trying this , I’ve tried other farm raised beef and it was so tough. But watching the videos and seeing how sincere that Bob is about he goes about growing and taking care of his herd made me decide to give it try. I got my first order and wondered why others can’t duplicate the flavors of his beef absolutely outstanding. Thank you Heartstone Farm!!!!!!!

The ground beef is superb! I have ordered in the past and am always happy with the customer service. Heartstone Farm goes above and beyond with customer service. I will order again. Thank you!
very tasty, lovely flavor
Great tasting beef. I like that it's grass-fed and locally grown. What a find.
Totally enjoyed the beef we ordered. We will definitely order again. Thanks so much.
I am so pleased to have a local grass fed beef farm. I placed an order of a few different meats and so far we have tried the beef liver. I must confess I am not a liver fan but WOW was it ever tasty. I truly enjoyed every bite. I soaked it in milk over night ( as several recipes had suggested) and cooked it with onions, peppers, mushrooms and bacon. My friend said it was, by far, the tastiest and sweetest liver he had ever tasted. If the liver is that good I can't wait to try the ground beef and stew meat I purchased. Thank you farmer Dan for all your hard work and making grass fed beef available to so many people. And I am extremely pleased with the OUTSTANDING customer service I have received. I am a HUGE fan of your product and service.
I rarely review anything.. but this is worth the time. I hope this helps someone considering a purchase: - Value: Grass Fed Beef is better for your health, but also more expensive. It’s worth doing some research before making a decision. I’m very health conscious and healthy, and eat beef at least a few times weekly, so Dan’s product is an excellent value for me. - Taste: I personally think this beef tastes stronger than the beef sold in most grocery stores. I like this difference because I like the taste of beef. You might by some cuts before committing to a share. - Fear Factor: I was worried that I don’t know how to cook all the different cuts. It forced me to take a little time online to learn how to cook roasts and ribs. My culinary skills have improved and it turns out I enjoy it (I haven’t yet perfected my chili but working on it). - Do you need “all this beef”? I thought that the first year.. I bought a quarter share for just myself and finished it. The things to focus on are the things you’re afraid to cook.. brisket, ribs.. etc. The rest just goes. - Freezer: I bought a freezer at sears for 1/2 price over a Labor Day weekend. just look around. Hope this helps.

This is the result of the Christmas roast drawing. Absolutely delicious!
Excellent grass fed beef from a humane local source with quarters and sides available. Beef is lean, but still tender and full of flavor. Farm tours are available in the Summer and all beef is grass fed and finished. Definitely give it a try if you get the chance!
Farmer Dan is an absolute pro and his product is second to none. What a great experience. Talk about a first rate farm where not only the meat is delicious, but after talking with Dan, and seeing the farm myself, I know I'm buying humanely raised meat with total confidence. Five stars. No question.
Delicious and a pleasure to prepare for my family. Thank you, Farmer Dan.

Ordered autumn sampler of grass fed beef. Ground beef tasty; rib eye steak delicious. Delivery was excellent. Properly packed. Straight to my freezer. High quality.
There's nothing like Heartstone Farm beef! It's fantastic!
