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!

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!!

The meat looks wonderful, shrink wrapped and all still frozen solid. We are looking forward to the quarter we ordered for September.

This is the best ground beef ever.We will be ordering from Farmer Dan again soon.

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.

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. . .

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!

The chicken was very clean, young and tender. We cooked it on the grill, best chicken ever!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great stuff!

Fantastic Steaks, Great delivery. Definitely ordering more!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Best steaks I've ever eaten, high end steakhouses included.
