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!

Loin chops are one of the most tender and flavorful cuts of pork, known for their mild, juicy taste and tender texture. Cut from the loin area of the pig, these chops are often referred to as the “tenderloin of pork,” offering a lean yet juicy option that works beautifully for grilling, pan-frying, or roasting. Whether you’re preparing a quick weeknight dinner or an elegant meal for guests, loin chops deliver a satisfying, delicious experience every time.
These bone-in chops have a slight T-bone shape and can be cooked quickly while retaining their tenderness, making them perfect for a fast yet flavorful meal. They’re ideal for those looking for a leaner cut with great flavor, thanks to the natural marbling around the edges.
Loin chops are the leanest pork chop, making them perfect for those seeking a lower-fat, tender option.
The bone in loin chops contributes to flavor and moisture, helping to keep the meat juicy as it cooks.
Loin chops are often referred to as "center cut" chops due to their position in the loin section, making them tender and flavorful.
A popular choice in many cultures, loin chops are perfect for grilling or cooking on the stovetop, with minimal prep time needed.
Protein: Loin chops are an excellent source of high-quality protein, supporting muscle growth, repair, and overall health.
B Vitamins: Packed with B12 and B6, loin chops help convert food into energy and support healthy nervous system function.
Iron & Zinc: Iron helps with oxygen transport, while zinc boosts immune health and supports cell function.
Grill or Pan-Fry: Loin chops are perfect for grilling or pan-frying on medium-high heat for a crispy exterior and tender interior.
Season Simply: Loin chops take well to simple seasoning such as garlic, rosemary, thyme, or salt and pepper, allowing the natural flavor of the pork to shine through.
Cook on the Bone: For the best texture and flavor, cook loin chops with the bone in. The bone helps retain moisture and adds extra flavor during cooking.
Loin chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal tenderness and safety. Allow them to rest for 3 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
