Anderson, Madison County, Indiana, United States

Wildflower Ridge Honey is a beekeeping and honey business based in Anderson, Indiana. Founded by David Barrickman, it is now managed by his grandson, Skyler Majors. The business sells raw Indiana honey and hive products through Central Indiana farmers markets, vendor partners, and online channels. A lead location in Reed City, Michigan, conflicts with the public record and should not be treated as the producer’s base without specimen-level evidence.
