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!

Ribs Delivered to Your Door

A mouthwatering, tender cut with rich flavor and a perfect balance of meat and bone.
Ribs are a classic favorite for BBQs, family dinners, and special occasions. Whether you're grilling, smoking, or slow-cooking, their tender texture and bold flavor make them the star of any meal. From tender baby back ribs to flavorful spare ribs, they offer the perfect balance of juiciness and smokiness with every bite.

Fun Facts:

  • Ribs are a BBQ classic, often slow-cooked or smoked for hours to bring out the best flavor.

  • Baby back ribs are leaner and more tender, while spare ribs are meatier and rich in flavor.

  • A popular choice for backyard gatherings, cookouts, and family meals.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • High-quality protein to support muscle growth and recovery.

  • Rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron and zinc.

  • The perfect combination of flavor, tenderness, and satisfying texture.

Cooking Tips:

  • Slow-cook, grill, or smoke for the best results.

  • For tender, juicy ribs, cook low and slow with your favorite BBQ sauce or rub.

  • Let rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to seal in the juices and enhance flavor.

Cooking Temperature:

  • Cook to an internal temperature of 190–200°F for fall-off-the-bone tenderness.

  • For grilling, sear on high heat and finish on lower heat for a perfect char.
