There’s a dash of hometown magic that comes with items made locally. We’ve been told that homemade goods reign supreme because they are made with love. And we truly believe it! We popped into stores of local artisans and got a behind-the-scenes look at their handiwork. We saw craftsmanship and soul in each creation. We compiled a list of authentically “Made in Round Rock” treasures for you to discover during your stay.
Round Rock Honey
The Round Rock Honey Bees are busy, and so are the owners at Round Rock Honey. They are dedicated to beekeeping and harvesting honey! Their mantra is “That which the bees give us, we give you.
