PACIFIC WHITE SHRIMP
Litopenaeus vannamei
FIRM, SWEET, DELICATE, AND RICH IN MINERALS AND FLAVOR
Pacific white shrimp is a warm water species originating from the waters of Sonora, Mexico to northern Peru. Pacific whites have a robust flavor profile with a lobster-like richness – sweet but earthy, tender yet firm.
Fresh Pacific white shrimp’s versatile flavor can work in a variety of dishes and cooking. Our shrimp our head-on with shells, but trust us, it is worth getting a little bit outside of your comfort zone for the maximum flavor that comes with cooking them whole. For appreciating the rich and subtle flavors, a quick pan sauté will do the trick with a drizzle of a grassy extra virgin olive oil, a tight squeeze of lemon, and a dash of freshly cracked peppercorns. A company favorite is a classic hearty shrimp boil with corn and potatoes. However you decide to get your shrimp on, you can have trust that Midland Shrimp the best shrimp to buy for sustainability and flavor.
RESPONSIBLY RAISED THROUGH ALGAE-BASED RAS™
Sourcing sustainable seafood is complicated. The wild-caught seafood industry is unable to meet growing seafood demand while protecting ocean habitats that are finite and fragile. Farmed fish, or aquaculture, is accepted industry-wide as the answer to wild-caught fishing concerns but has faced its own challenges. Most farmed shrimp are raised in countries with minimal government oversight presenting some major handling and safety concerns as well as environmental sustainability issues. Domestic, land-based systems address all these concerns but only account for less than 1% of the shrimp we buy, and international production is predicted to continue to dominate the market. Midland Co. is dedicated to changing this narrative and to be the future of seafood production in America.
Midland’s technology simplifies RAS systems with a new, innovative technology– algae-based wastewater treatment. These impressive microorganisms capture nutrients and carbon from the air, leaving the water purified and oxygenated in a single one-step wastewater treatment system. The nutrient-dense algae are then recovered to be used as a new regenerative fertilizer for Iowa’s agricultural land. This zero-discharge technology makes it one of the most sustainable forms of aquaculture today.

West Forty Market
After years of rave reviews over the beef John & Sue Ebensberger were producing on their hobby farm, West Forty (40 acres west of Greene, IA) was born!
We have been selling individual cuts and custom wholesale options in Greene since 2013 and Des Moines since 2016. In September 2019, John & Sue purchased the grocery store in Greene, renaming it West Forty Market. You can find all of our locally raised meats at the store!
After being a full time vendor at the Des Moines Farmers Market and offering delivery around the metro, Teresa (their daughter) decided to open her own retail store in Ankeny, IA in May 2021. West Forty Market is located in Uptown Ankeny and features over 120 cuts of beef, pork, chicken, bison, lamb and turkey - all raised on local Iowa farms and butchered in Iowa. We also feature over a dozen local products, including pasta, rubs, sauces and honey.
Grass-fed, grain-finished and raised with love and care ... we are confident you'll enjoy the amazing flavor and tenderness of our meats!
Orders from West Forty Market are available for pick-up at our Ankeny, Iowa and Greene, Iowa locations during our regular business hours.

Just smoked and reverse my first Picanha this evening. I finally found a cut of beef that I like more than tri-tip.
