Upon her marriage, her father, Julius De la Gardie, gave Eva the estates [[Mariedal Castle]] and [[Lindholmen Castle, Västergötland]].<ref name="auto">Erdmann, Nils, Vid hovet och på adelsgodsen i 1700-talets Sverige: en tidskrönika, Wahlströms, Stockholm, 1926</ref> Her husband, additionally, owned the Stola Manor estate as well as a residence in the capital of [[Stockholm]].

Because of the frequent absence of her husband on business, Eva Ekeblad was given the responsibility of the management of the three estates, including the tasks of supervising the bailiffs and presiding at the country-assemblies of the parishes of the estates.<ref name="riksarkivet.se" /><ref name="svenska qvinnor" /><ref>[http://www.torehartung.se/content/gatunamn-med-historia-ekebladsvagen Gatunamn med historia – Ekebladsvägen] – Tore Hartung, sept 2001</ref> She is described as imposing and temperamental with great authority: fair toward the peasantry, whom she protected against abuse from the bailiffs in return for obedience,<ref name="auto"/> and as someone who did not hesitate to rectify and punish wrongdoings during conflicts with local dignitaries.<ref name="riksarkivet.se" />
She also had a leading role in the local aristocracy, and Stola manor was renowned for its good order.<ref name="auto"/>

In the Ekeblad residence in Stockholm, she hosted a cultural salon and was described by the wife of the Spanish Ambassador de marquis de Puentefuerte as "one of few aristocratic ladies whose honor was considered untainted".<ref name="riksarkivet.se" /> The first concert performances of the mass music of [[Johan Helmich Roman]] were performed in her salon at the Ekeblad House.<ref>[http://sok.riksarkivet.se/SBL/Presentation.aspx?id=6817 Riksarkivet] Band 30 (1998–2000), p. 292 – Johan Helmich Roman</ref> She was on friendly terms with queen [[Louisa Ulrika of Prussia|Louisa Ulrika]].<ref name="auto"/>

After the death of her husband in 1771, she retired to the countryside. Mariedal and Lindholmen estates served as her [[dower]] estates, the former being her personal residence. She initially also kept control of her son's estate Stola, he being also absent from his estates like his father because of his career.<ref name="auto"/>

In 1775, her son Claes Julius Ekeblad (1742–1808) married [[Brita Horn]], and three years afterwards Stola manor was granted to her daughter-in-law as a dower.<ref name="auto"/> In November 1778, Eva Ekeblad attended the royal court by making use of her rank in her capacity as ''riksrådinna'' (wife or widow of a ''[[riksråd]]'') and was present as a witness at the birth of the future [[Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden]].<ref name="auto"/> She stayed in the capital for two years, during which time she was much celebrated. She was offered to succeed [[Ulrika Strömfelt]] as ''[[överhovmästarinna]]'' (chief lady-in-waiting) to the queen, as well as offered the position of royal governess for the Crown Prince.<ref name="auto"/> However, though she was reportedly flattered, she was forced to refuse the offers of a position at court because her hitherto good health was affected by an illness that year which left her much weakened and made her periodically bedridden for her remaining eight years.<ref name="auto"/> She spent her last six years in Mariedal Castle, where she continued to be celebrated by the local aristocracy until she died.<ref name="auto"/>

===Scientific work===
In 1746, Ekeblad wrote to the [[Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences]] on her discoveries of how to make flour and alcohol out of [[potatoes]].<ref name="riksarkivet.se" /><ref name="Ljus från Sverige" /> Potatoes had been introduced into Sweden in 1658, but had been cultivated only in the greenhouses of the aristocracy. Ekeblad's work turned potatoes into a staple food in Sweden, and increased the supply of [[wheat]], [[rye]] and [[barley]] available for making bread, since potatoes could be used instead to make alcohol. This greatly improved the country's eating habits and reduced the frequency of famines.<ref name="Ljus från Sverige" />

She also discovered a method of bleaching cotton textile and yarn with soap in 1751,<ref name="riksarkivet.se" /> and of replacing the dangerous ingredients in cosmetics of the time by using [[Potato starch|potato flour]] (1752); she is said to have advertised the plant by using its flowers as hair ornaments.<ref name="Ljus från Sverige" />

In 1748, Eva Ekeblad became the first woman elected to [[Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences]]. There are no records of her ever having participated in the meetings of the Academy. In 1751, the Academy came to refer to her as an honorary rather than a full member, as the statutes confined membership to men.<ref name="riksarkivet.se" />
