We New Englanders are known for our time-honored food traditions, and gray corned beef is no exception. Its pure, simple preparation method and rich, beefy flavor make it a favorite for many families who have been enjoying it for generations. Whether served as part of a traditional boiled dinner or repurposed into corned beef hash the next morning, gray corned beef remains a delicious piece of New England’s culinary history.

Heartstone Farms' classic New England Gray Corned Beef has become a St. Patrick's Day tradition for hundreds of families. Because we do not use nitrates in the brine, it is gray in color. For an extra kick of flavor, we recommend adding pickling spices as a rub. Supremely succulent and tender, perfect for your traditional St. Patrick's Day celebration.

Like many cuts of beef, it contains some fat, which can contribute to its taste and tenderness. The fat in brisket can also help keep the meat moist during cooking, resulting in a delicious and succulent dish.

Easy to cook: In your slow cooker (CrockPot) for 6-8 hours or in a pan in the oven covered with foil (for 6 hours). See our cooking tips here.

The result is a corned beef so much better than what you can purchase in a grocery store.

    What do we mean by 100% Grass Fed?

    Our beef is 100% grass fed and grass finished. That means our cattle only eat grass. No corn, no grain, no animal by products -just grass.

    In the growing season, they feed on the pastures of our 500 acre farm. In the winter, they eat the hay (grass) we harvested from our fields in the summer.

    Beware of supermarket beef labeled "grass fed." Most factory-farmed, supermarket beef is fed grain (mainly corn) in the last few months before slaughter (even when it’s labeled “grass-fed”). While grain will fatten cattle up quickly, it can also make them sick because grains are not their natural feed.

    That's why knowing the farmer who raised your meat is so important.

    When we say 100% grass fed we mean 100%.
