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!

Ham is a classic and versatile cut of meat, made from the hind legs of a pig. Ham is a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions, and it’s easy to cook, reheat, and serve.
Fun Facts:
Ham has been a staple in households for centuries and was traditionally preserved through curing, salting, and smoking.
Spiral-cut hams are pre-sliced, making them ideal for feeding large groups with ease.
Ham can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it incredibly versatile for both holiday meals and weeknight dinners.
Nutritional Info:
Protein: Ham is an excellent source of protein, providing around 18g of protein per 3-ounce serving.
Fat: Ham typically contains about 15g of fat per serving, depending on the cut.
Iron: A good source of iron, helping support healthy red blood cells and energy levels.
Vitamins: Ham is rich in B vitamins, particularly B6 and B12, which are essential for maintaining brain function and metabolic health.
Cooking Tips/Recipes:
Honey-Glazed Ham: Coat your ham in a mixture of honey, brown sugar, and mustard for a sweet-savory glaze, then bake it at 325°F for 10 minutes per pound.
Ham and Cheese Sliders: Make these easy, bite-sized sandwiches by layering ham and Swiss cheese on soft rolls, then baking until golden brown.
Ham & Pineapple Skewers: Combine chunks of ham with fresh pineapple on skewers, brush with BBQ sauce, and grill for a tropical twist.
Ham and Bean Soup: Use leftover ham to make a hearty soup by simmering with white beans, carrots, and onions.
Cooking Temperature:
Pre-cooked ham: Reheat at 325°F for 10 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
Partially cooked ham: Plan for 20 minutes per pound until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
For spiral-cut hams, simply reheat and serve, as they are usually fully cooked.
