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!

Whether you’re making a quick weeknight meal or prepping for a crowd, shredded beef is a simple and satisfying option.

Fun Facts:

  • Perfect for slow cooking, allowing the beef to absorb all the flavors from spices, broth, or sauces.

  • Great for versatile dishes like tacos, chili, beef sandwiches, and casseroles.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • High-quality protein that supports muscle growth and repair.

  • A good source of iron, zinc, and essential B vitamins.

  • Offers a flavorful, satisfying meal while being relatively lean, depending on the cut used.

Cooking Tips:

  • Slow-cook or braise for the best shredding results.

  • Use a flavorful broth or sauce to enhance the beef's natural richness.

  • Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking before shredding to keep the juices locked in.

Cooking Temperature:

  • Slow-cook to an internal temperature of 190°F for perfect shredding.

  • For braising, cook on low heat for several hours until the beef easily pulls apart.

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!

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