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!

Best smoked or slow roasted for an incredible flavor. We offer whole briskets or choose from either the flat or the point (tip). The flat cut makes up the majority of the brisket and comes with a thick layer of fat on top that keeps the meat moist when cooked. This cut is best for slicing. The point (tip) is the fatty part of the brisket that's perfect smoked at a low temp.

West Forty Reviews

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

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.

Far and away the best ground beef I have ever purchased, I refuse to buy it anywhere else now that I have been to West Forty!

I love being able to order products from West Forty Market in Ankeny through ChopLocal. I appreciate the coupons that are offered and all of the different local farmers that participate. I always find lots of great things to buy.
