Maya Chen
Executive Chef
Seasonal menus, fermentation experiments and a obsession with mushrooms.
Refined plant-based dining since 2022.
Native Fare opened with a simple promise: plant-based food can be elegant, satisfying and deeply local. We work with New Hampshire farmers, build menus around the harvest and serve them in a dining room designed for unhurried meals. No shortcuts, no compromise on flavor.
