From searching the world’s best ingredients to growing them at home

I’m Kelly Cox—documentary filmmaker, farm‑based cook, and endlessly curious eater. The Original Fare took me around the globe. House of Creature brings that journey—and those flavors—back to your table.

The Road So Far…

Over the past decade I have harvested Yamada‑Nishiki sake rice in Hyōgo, Japan, hauled lobster traps through the fog of New Brunswick, spearfished invasive lionfish in Barbados, and trekked coffee‑covered hillsides in Colombia.

Each trip turned my suitcase into a pantry. Airports became grocery runs, and whenever I landed home I unpacked those discoveries onto a long table, feeding friends and family while recounting every story behind each jar, sauce, and spice.

Why House of Creature?

I created House of Creature to hold every facet of that adventure under one roof. Through Original Fare films & shorts I continue telling the stories of farmers, artisans, and fragile ecosystems. With our Culinary Adventure Kits I box up the flavors of a place so six people can travel together without leaving the kitchen. And through Women’s Adventure Weekends I gather diverse groups outdoors, where we learn new skills, share beautiful feasts, and restore ourselves in nature.

Every project supports small producers who care deeply for their communities and the land, so each bite nudges the food system in a better direction.

What’s next (and how you fit in)

This is only chapter one of House of Creature. I’ll keep filming, farming, and feeding folks until every dinner ends with that travel‑together feeling—full, happy, and newly curious. Watch the latest Original Fare episodes, cook a seasonal kit with friends, or escape to the mountains or coast for a Women’s Adventure Weekend, and become part of the story.

 
Much love & happy feasting,
Kelly
