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!

Frequently Asked Questions about Beef Bacon:

What is Beef Bacon?

Beef bacon is made from beef instead of pork, and it is delicious! Pork bacon is made from the belly of the pig, and similarly, beef bacon is made from the belly of cattle.

How do you cook beef bacon?

Cook beef bacon just as you would pork bacon. Pan fry the beef bacon, microwave it, or try baking it in the oven.

How do you cook with beef bacon?

Substitute beef bacon for any recipe that calls for pork bacon!

Where can you find beef bacon?

Right here! Beef bacon is a specialty product that is not carried by many retailers. ChopLocal's farmers work with small meat processors to have beef bacon made from their cattle. Support these small businesses and family farms, and get beef bacon delivered to your door when you order from a ChopLocal farm!

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

Easy to work with, excellent communication throughout the process. I purchased a 1/4 cow and now had beef sticks shipped to me since I can’t find any locally as good as theirs. Definitely recommend! Thanks for being so great to work with!
