Annie’s Family Farm is a new, small-scale farm in the Cowichan Valley run by Telia (Tilly) Hsieh and John Morton—returning-generation farmers on a journey to connect with the land and community. Inspired by their experiences WWOOFing, studying with the Market Gardener Institute, and a deep love of growing food, Annie’s Family Farm is named in honour of John’s late mother, Anne Sharp, whose generosity and spirit continue to guide their work. The farm sits on land thoughtfully cultivated by beloved past growers and is now home to diverse vegetables, laying hens, and future plans for community experiences and culturally meaningful crops.

We’re proud to be featured on the 2025 Cowichan Grown Farm Map and to be part of this incredible community of growers.

We are currently undergoing the organic certification process. We farm using strictly organic practices across the board: no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, careful soil stewardship through compost and cover crops, and rotational planting to support long-term soil health.

We grow with intention, care, and respect for the land—and with the joy of knowing our produce helps nourish local families. We also focus on diversity in our plantings and aim to provide a wide variety of vegetables including heirloom and Asian varieties not commonly found in grocery stores. Animal welfare, pollinator support, and ecosystem balance are central to how we farm.
