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!

Farm-Fresh Beef Roasts and BBQ Delivered to Your Door

ChopLocal’s roasts and BBQ cuts come directly from trusted local farmers and butchers. From brisket and short ribs to prime rib, chuck roast, and arm roast, these hearty cuts are perfect for smoking, braising, or roasting for a flavorful, family-style meal. Order online and have them shipped straight to your door.

How to Cook Beef Roasts

The most popular way to prepare a beef roast is to oven-roast or braise it to your desired doneness.

Start by coating the roast generously with your favorite rub for the best flavor. Whether you prefer smoky, savory, or herb-forward, feel free to get creative with your seasoning.

Always use a meat thermometer to monitor internal temperature throughout the cooking process. Once done, allow the roast to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps lock in juices and enhances tenderness.

Cooking times will vary based on the size and whether your roast is bone-in or boneless.

How to Pick the Perfect Beef Roast

Choosing the right roast depends on your budget, cooking method, and occasion:

  • Tenderloin Roast – The most tender and often the most expensive roast. Easy to carve and great for special occasions.

  • Rib or Strip Roasts (Prime Rib) – Rich in flavor and perfect for holidays or feeding a crowd.

  • Chuck Roasts – Budget-friendly and best when cooked low and slow for fork-tender, flavorful results.

Types of Beef Roasts

Beef Arm Roast
A budget-friendly cut that shines when slow-cooked with vegetables. Comes from the chuck and is also known as the "Beef Clod Heart" or "Beef Shoulder Center."

Chuck Eye Roll
Cut from the chuck primal, chuck rolls are well-marbled and perfect for fall-apart shredded beef. Best seasoned simply and cooked low and slow.

Eye of Round Roast
Lean and affordable, this roast is great for everyday meals. It benefits from marinades or rubs and is best roasted or braised, then sliced thin across the grain.

Beef Rump Roast
Also called the "Bottom Round Rump Roast," this lean cut is great for crockpot meals with carrots and potatoes. Affordable and family-friendly.

Sirloin Tip Roast
Known as the “Knuckle” or “Round Tip Roast,” this cut is lean and inexpensive. It performs well when roasted or smoked and sliced thin for sandwiches.

Tri-Tip Roast
Also known as the "Santa Maria Roast" or "Bottom Sirloin," this triangular cut is tender, flavorful, and perfect for grilling, tacos, or carving stations.

Brisket
Cut from the breast, brisket is ideal for smoking. Apply a generous rub, cook low and slow to 203–205°F, and let rest before slicing.

  • Brisket Point – Juicier, fattier, and ideal for burnt ends.

  • Brisket Flat – Leaner, great for slicing or shredding.

Picanha / Coulotte Roast
Also called “Top Sirloin Cap,” this cut is full of flavor thanks to a generous fat cap. Roast or grill low and slow, then slice against the grain.

Prime Rib / Standing Rib Roast
This classic holiday roast is rich, juicy, and impressive. Roast bone-in or boneless with seasoning and let it rest before serving.

West Forty Reviews

The salad dressing from local farmers Goodness Acres is amazing! And so wholesome! My favorite is the Raspberry Vinaigrette! Toss with their greens and plump, garlicky shrimp..chef’s kiss!! For added treat cut up strawberries! Seriously the best! So glad West Forty Market sells it!

Best lamb chops we have had!! Great service, fast shipping, and the personal note inside was top notch! Placing my next order now!

The pizza patties have the best flavor. I topped them with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. So good!!!

Love, love, love West Forty. The quality of everything is amazing and you can literally taste the difference! I no longer buy any meat from the grocery store and only from West Forty!

Absolutely love West Forty. Quality, local meats at a great price. Can’t beat their products, and I recommend to anyone looking to support local and who want to know where their meat is coming from.

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

Overall, a great experience.

Far and away the best ground beef I have ever purchased, I refuse to buy it anywhere else now that I have been to West Forty!

I love being able to order products from West Forty Market in Ankeny through ChopLocal. I appreciate the coupons that are offered and all of the different local farmers that participate. I always find lots of great things to buy.

Thank you for the continued amazing jerky and awesome service. I don’t say this lightly. I hold businesses to a high standard and unfortunately not many achieve it. Great family business that I pray continues for long time. God Bless
