INFORMATION ABOUT THE OWNERS, SVEN AND BARBARA EBBESSON
Sven migrated to America from Sweden when he was 15 years old, coming to Winfield, Kansas where he graduated from high school. He has a doctorate in anatomy and has had a prestigious academic career in medical research. His medical research brought his family to Alaska more than 20 years ago as the Director of the medical department at University of Alaska. He met his wife, Barbara, a nurse, in Germany while stationed in the Army. They both retired in 2000 and are now retiring from the farm as well.
Sven has always been drawn to agriculture as his family in Sweden were farmers. Following the purchase of his first tract of land, Sven, Barbara and their three sons began clearing land in order to grow potatoes. The soil fertility plus the area’s climate makes the land ideal for growing potatoes. From the beginning they decided the farm would be organic and went through all of the inspections and paperwork to get the official designation.
Potatoes are now primarily sold as seed potatoes. Typically they grow 12-15 different varieties. Ebbesson Farms is well known throughout Alaska for their exceptionally high quality potatoes for both human consumption and seed.
The Ebbessons believe there is a tremendous opportunity to expand the farming operation.

Alaska Fairbanks News, February, 2011, says the potato farm is “a thousand acres of happiness.”
