Welcome to Robertson Potatoes – A Farming Legacy embedded in the beautiful Southern Highlands

It began in 1904, when the first generation planted their crops into the rich red basalt soil of Robertson. Five generations later, that same soil—paired with cool-climate air and the soft fog rolling in from the Illawarra escarpment—continues to shape every potato they grow. It’s a place where nature does its best work: warm days, cool nights, and rolling green hills lined with neat rows of thriving plants. Quietly, season by season, the land delivers something special.

For the Hill family, it’s never been about growing more—it’s about growing better. Flavour comes first. Always has. Each variety is chosen with care, each harvest guided by experience passed down through generations. Across the year, a changing selection of potatoes reflects the rhythm of the seasons and the diversity of what the land can produce.

That connection between farm and table is most visible on market days. From the Southern Highlands to the South Coast and Cobbitty near Camden, the familiar Robertson Potatoes stand has become a ritual for locals. What many don’t see is the care behind it—varieties grown specifically for these markets, often harvested just the day before, arriving at their absolute best.

Beyond the fields, the farms tell another story. Pockets of natural woodland remain untouched, providing refuge for beneficial insects and native wildlife—kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, and the distinctive calls of black cockatoos and Gang Gangs echoing through the trees. Along the creek line, life continues in quieter ways too, with the critically endangered Fitzroy Falls Spiny Crayfish protected through ongoing revegetation and careful stewardship of the waterways.

From humble market stalls to some of the finest kitchens, one thing has remained constant: the Hill family grows for flavour, for quality, and for taste. Always for taste.

So when you hear the name Robertson Potatoes, know this: for over a century, one family has been quietly perfecting their craft—growing, refining, and reimagining the humble spud, just for you.
