At Windy Hills Farm, everything we do starts with a seed. We’re Jeffrey and Germaine Borg, founders of Windy Hills Farm and Choice Seedlings, based in Werombi, South West Sydney.
What began over 20 years ago as a trusted supplier of high-quality vegetable seedlings has grown into a full-scale farming operation, supplying fresh, retail-ready produce to supermarkets, restaurants, and wholesalers across Australia.
In 2012, after years of supplying seedlings to farmers across Australia, we saw an opportunity to forward integrate and take things further.
Building on the strong foundation of Choice Seedlings, we launched Windy Hills Farm, which is dedicated to growing crisp lettuces, asian greens, vibrant microherbs, fine leaves, edible flowers and petite vegetables for Sydney, QLD, South Australian and Victorian wholesalers and retail groups.
Although Choice Seedlings and Windy Hills Farm operate independently, they share common company values of quality, respect, long-term relationships and entrepreneurial spirit. The objective is to deliver quality produce with innovation, consistency and care. Conveniently located in Werombi, South West Sydney, Windy Hills Farm engages a community of growing partners to ensure consistent year round supply.

We manage the entire journey all from our farm in South West Sydney. Conveniently located less than 1 hour from Sydney, our unique setup allows us to oversee every step, from germination and growth to harvesting and packing. Our dedicated packing shed, advanced custom built paperless traceability tool (NECTA) offers transparency and peace of mind to our customers. We continue to invest in people and technology to ensure the supply of a clean, green, Australian grown product.
With our own fleet of trucks, we deliver directly across Sydney, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia—serving providores, market agents, and retailer distribution centres with consistency, care and a personal touch. It's how we ensure every product arrives fresh, flavourful, and ready to use.
Sustainability isn’t an afterthought. It’s part of our everyday. The land sustains everything we do at Windy Hills Farm, so we’re committed to protecting it for the future.
We’re transitioning to craft paper and acetate film recyclable packaging. Leading this space in the way herbs and lettuce are packaged. This evolving space has become a focal part of our business and we continue to offer our brand to research paper to minimise plastics in our industry. We are a member of APCO and currently presenting our product for APCO review.
We take food safety seriously. We comply with HARPS and Freshcare and proudly offer suppliers transparency and accountability in our growing and sourcing of products.
At Windy Hills Farm, we believe in growing more than just exceptional produce—we’re committed to growing people too. Our farm is powered by a diverse, passionate team, and we’re proud to foster a workplace where every person is valued, respected, and supported.
As a female-led business, we champion women in agriculture through meaningful roles, inclusive leadership, and visibility across every level of our operation—from the field to the front office. We know firsthand the strength that comes from diverse perspectives and a culture of empowerment.
We can proudly promote our Fair Farms accreditation. Fair Farms is a certification program for social compliance including workplace laws and regulations in the Horticultural industry.
We’re equally proud of the strong Samoan and Timor -Leste community that makes up 50% of our workforce. Their dedication, warmth, and work ethic enrich our farm culture in countless ways. The impact of their work goes far beyond the gates of Windy Hills—wages earned here help fund education, support families, and uplift communities across Samoa and Timor-Leste.
As an approved employer of the PALM scheme we recruit direct from the participating countries involved in the scheme and meet the communities where we are making a difference to peoples lives.
What drives us is simple: respect, quality, long-term relationships, and entrepreneurial spirit. These values unite our team of 55+ staff, from operations and admin to seasonal and long-term workers. Every person at Windy Hills plays a role in bringing our produce to life. From seedling to shelf, we’re proud to be your trusted, single-source supplier—nurturing people, nourishing the planet, and growing with purpose.
At Windy Hills Farm, we take pride in maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and integrity. We are certified under Freshcare, Fair Farms, and HARPS, ensuring that every stage of our growing, packing, and delivery process meets strict Australian industry standards. These certifications reflect our commitment to responsible farming, ethical employment, and continuous improvement—so our customers can trust that every product is grown with care, accountability, and respect for people and the planet.
