About 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!

Chorizo Delivered to Your Door

Chorizo is a bold, spicy sausage made from premium, farm-fresh pork and seasoned with a variety of spices, including paprika, chili powder, and garlic. This flavorful, rich sausage is a staple in many cuisines, especially Mexican and Spanish, and brings a hearty, smoky kick to any dish. Whether you’re making tacos, breakfast burritos, paella, or simply adding it to your favorite stew, chorizo is perfect for adding depth and spice.

Our chorizo is made using high-quality pork and carefully balanced spices to bring out its bold flavors. It’s ready to be cooked, crumbled, or sliced for your favorite dishes, making it a versatile ingredient that adds a punch of flavor to any meal.

Fun Facts:

  • Chorizo can be enjoyed fresh or cured, with the fresh variety being more popular for cooking, and the cured version commonly eaten on its own.

  • The smoky flavor of chorizo comes from paprika, often used in Spanish varieties, while Mexican chorizo tends to be spicier with added chili peppers.

  • Chorizo is a popular addition to breakfast burritos, quesadillas, and grilled sandwiches, or it can be enjoyed on its own with eggs and tortillas.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Protein: Chorizo is a great source of protein, supporting muscle health and overall energy.

  • B Vitamins: Rich in B12 and B6, which help your body convert food into energy and maintain a healthy nervous system.

  • Iron: Packed with iron, which is essential for healthy blood circulation and red blood cell production.

Cooking Tips:

  • Crumbled or sliced: Chorizo can be cooked whole or crumbled into dishes. Crumble it into scrambled eggs or sauces for a spicy boost.

  • Cook thoroughly: Ensure chorizo is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure it’s safe to eat and packed with flavor.

  • Pair with acidic sides: The spice and richness of chorizo pairs well with lime, sour cream, or a fresh salsa to balance its bold flavors.

Cooking Temperatures:

  • Chorizo should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for optimal flavor and safety.
