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!

Pork Roasts & Pork Barbecue Delivered to Your Door

Pork Roast & Pork Barbecue Near Me

Pork roasts and pork barbecue are the perfect choice for creating a hearty, flavorful meal for a family gathering or a special occasion. Whether you’re slow-roasting a tender pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches, or preparing a barbecue-style roast for that smoky, melt-in-your-mouth flavor, these cuts of pork offer rich, juicy results every time. Perfect for low and slow cooking, pork roasts are ideal for braising, roasting, or slow-cooking in your favorite sauce.

Whether you're planning a Sunday family dinner or looking to serve up a crowd-pleasing BBQ feast, pork roasts and pork barbecue offer versatility and great flavor. The slow-cooked nature of these cuts allows the flavors to develop fully, creating a rich, satisfying meal that’s sure to be enjoyed by everyone at the table.

Fun Facts About Pork Roasts & Pork Barbecue:

  • Pork roast is often made from cuts like pork shoulder, pork loin, or pork butt, all of which become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.

  • Pork barbecue is a southern favorite, where pork is typically slow-cooked and basted in barbecue sauce to achieve a smoky, tender result.

  • A pork roast can easily feed a large group, making it ideal for holiday meals, family dinners, and weekend cookouts.

  • Pork is often paired with a variety of sauces, from vinegar-based to sweet and tangy barbecue sauces, depending on regional preferences.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Protein: Both pork roasts and pork barbecue are rich in high-quality protein, essential for muscle building and body repair.

  • B Vitamins: Packed with B6 and B12, pork supports your metabolism and overall energy production.

  • Iron & Zinc: These cuts are a great source of iron, which helps deliver oxygen throughout your body, and zinc, which is vital for immune function.

Cooking Tips:

  • Slow-cook for tenderness: The key to a tender pork roast or pulled pork is low and slow cooking. Braise, roast, or slow-cook for several hours at low temperatures to break down the fat and make the meat fall-apart tender.

  • Marinate for flavor: Before roasting or slow cooking, marinate your pork roast in your favorite herbs, spices, or sauces for a deep, flavorful crust.

  • Barbecue or Smoke for That Perfect Taste: For pork barbecue, slow-cook the meat on a grill or smoker with wood chips to infuse the meat with a rich, smoky flavor.

  • Rest after cooking: Allow your pork roast to rest after cooking for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps redistribute the juices and keep the meat moist.

Cooking Temperatures:

  • Pork roasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), and then allowed to rest for 3 minutes before serving.

  • Pulled pork should be cooked to 190°F (88°C) for that perfect, tender texture that shreds easily.

With ChopLocal, enjoy the convenience of skipping the grocery store and bringing home premium, farm-fresh cuts.
