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!

West Forty Reviews

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!

Best lamb chops we have had!! Great service, fast shipping, and the personal note inside was top notch! Placing my next order now!

The pizza patties have the best flavor. I topped them with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. So good!!!

Love, love, love West Forty. The quality of everything is amazing and you can literally taste the difference! I no longer buy any meat from the grocery store and only from West Forty!

Best products, service and quality! Thank you! We're enjoying our delivery from last week.

This is one of my favorites!! And it has a sweet maple flavor and is wonderful in my egg casseroles

Love West Forty, I ordered through Choplocal. Great selection and terrific tasting meat.

You can't beat this meat!

LOVE West Forty! Consistent, quality products and super helpful service.

Absolutely love West Forty. Quality, local meats at a great price. Can’t beat their products, and I recommend to anyone looking to support local and who want to know where their meat is coming from.

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

Overall, a great experience.
