A Farming Legacy embedded in the beautiful Southern Highlands

Todd, jon & carol hill - T&J HILL

At the centre of Robertson Potatoes sits a family bond built on soil, seasons and instinct. Todd, Jon & Carol Hill carry the weight of generations with a quiet confidence—men who don’t just farm the land, but understand it. Raised in the rhythm of planting, digging and selling, their connection to the paddock runs deeper than process; it’s muscle memory, passed down since the early 1900s.

Together, through T&J Hill, they represent the operational backbone of the family—balancing tradition with evolution. Whether it’s refining varieties for market days or supplying some of Australia’s most recognisable food brands, their work reflects a simple philosophy: grow for flavour, not for scale. In every row they plant, there’s an unspoken standard—if it’s not worth eating, it’s not worth growing.

warwick & nicky hill - W&N HILL

Where the land meets longevity, Warwick and Nicky Hill bring a sense of stewardship to Robertson Potatoes that extends beyond the crop itself. Through W&N Hill, their role is less about output and more about care—of soil health, biodiversity, and the future of farming in the Highlands.

Their approach reflects the deeper layer of the Hill family story: regenerative thinking before it became a trend. Rotational farming, cover crops, and the integration of livestock aren’t innovations here—they’re inherited wisdom. Nicky’s presence alongside Warwick reinforces that this is not just a farming operation, but a family ecosystem—one where decisions are made with decades, not seasons, in mind.

Ryan Hill

Ryan Hill represents the next chapter—one foot in legacy, the other firmly in the future. Having grown up in tractors and market runs, his return to the farm wasn’t a question of if, but when. Now embedded in the day-to-day, Ryan brings a new level of precision to the operation, particularly in quality assurance and crop consistency.

There’s a different energy to his generation—data-aware, detail-driven—but still anchored in the same respect for the land. Ryan isn’t reinventing Robertson Potatoes; he’s refining it. Learning from his father and uncles, he’s part of a quiet evolution—ensuring that what has worked for five generations continues to work for the next five.

blake Hill

Blake Hill sits within the emerging edge of the family—less visible, but equally important to the unfolding story. In families like the Hills, not every role is front-facing, but every role matters. Blake represents the broader next-generation layer: the thinkers, operators and contributors who will shape how Robertson Potatoes shows up in a modern world.

Whether through innovation, expansion, or simply continuing the discipline of the craft, Blake embodies what makes this family enduring—the ability to adapt without losing identity. Because at its core, Robertson Potatoes has never just been about farming. It’s about people, place, and the quiet commitment to doing one thing exceptionally well, year after year.
