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!

Sausage comes in many forms — ground sausage, sausage links, sausage patties, and chorizo — each offering its own unique flavor and texture. All varieties are crafted from high-quality, farm-fresh pork and seasoned with a variety of spices, from garlic and sage to paprika and cayenne pepper. Sausage can be used in a wide range of dishes, from classic breakfast scrambles to hearty stews, savory pasta dishes, or tacos.
Sausage has been enjoyed in both European and American cuisines for centuries, with unique seasoning blends depending on the region.
Chorizo is a standout, known for its smoky, spicy flavor thanks to paprika and chili powder.
The versatility of sausage makes it suitable for all meals of the day—from breakfast to dinner.
Protein: Sausage is an excellent source of protein, supporting muscle growth and repair.
B Vitamins: Rich in B6 and B12, which are vital for energy production and maintaining a healthy nervous system.
Iron & Zinc: Contains iron, which supports red blood cell formation, and zinc, which helps with immune function.
Grilling & Pan-Frying: Whether you're cooking links or patties, cook on medium heat for an even cook and juicy results. Don't press sausages while cooking to retain moisture.
Crumbled Sausage: Ground sausage is great for adding texture and flavor to soups, casseroles, or pasta dishes.
Seasoning Variations: Customize flavors by adding extra spices or herbs, such as oregano or thyme, to suit your dish.
Sausage links and patties: Cook to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Chorizo: If fresh, it should also reach 160°F (71°C); cooked chorizo can be enjoyed as is.
