Wildflower Ridge Honey, LLC.
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.
About the Producer

David Barrickman founded Wildflower Ridge Honey in 2005 after retiring from factory work. The business is now managed by his grandson, Skyler Majors. A 2023 memorial notice named Barrickman as founder and owner and said his family would continue the honey business.
