The Driscoll berries, I believe, come from California - and always are white around the stem and when you hull them, you get a big hollow space. Maine grown strawberries are not white around the stem and there is no hollow space - worth every bit of money they cost. Will give you a tip, however. Don't let your strawberries touch water (will cause them to mold). Rinse them in wine - then hull and cut - place in a container, pour a little wine over them and some vanilla. Shake - and store in the fridge. They'll keep fresh for ever so long - just make certain you shake them every couple of days.

I visited there recently and had the best berries that I bought from a roadside stand. They were nothing like the Driscoll berries I get at home. Thank you Hello

We still remember our holiday in Maine in 2008, which was made very special, because we stayed in your beautiful apartment for 2 weeks. Right from day one we felt at home and from there we set out every day to explore the coast of Maine and the fantastic National Parks. We hope to be able to return one day. Here on the West coast of Ireland it is quite blustery today with sunny spells, but the forecast for the week is for warm, sunny weather. Good luck with your new business venture.

We were always impressed with her graciousness, hospitality, and the way she makes every guest feel special. She has a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area; ever ready with suggesting for dining, shopping, activities, and touring the beautiful Maine coast. We are sure you will find that Lilac Place to be an excellent choice for your home-away-from-home in Maine.
