Welcome to EWL

We’re Brent and Kate Eaton – proud owners of EWL, a family-run agricultural contracting business based in Balfour, Northern Southland.

Established in 2007 as Eaton Willow Lodge (EWL), by Brent’s parents, Paul and Elaine Eaton, our company evolved over the years, shifting focus to grass harvesting services. After succession planning, Brent and Kate took over the company operations in 2021. While our operation may be smaller than some, it allows us to focus on quality over quantity – giving every job the attention it deserves.

At EWL, we believe in doing things right – first time, every time. Since the beginning, we’ve been committed to delivering reliable service and excellent results for farmers throughout Northern Southland.

We’re proud to be a small business that supports our local community. Whether it’s sponsoring rural schools or lending a hand to other contractors when needed, we value honest relationships and working together for better outcomes.

With a strong team of skilled operators and a hands-on approach, we’re with you from the first cut to the last load. You’ll get quality service, attention to detail, and a contractor that treats your paddocks like our own.
