Apiterra

What Apiterra does

Apiterra, Inc. is a Brooklyn-based, privately held specialty food company founded in 2015 by Dimitri Grigorovich, sourcing raw, unfiltered, unheated wildflower honey from Eastern Europe (with roots in his family's beekeeping tradition in Belarus) and selling it to U.S. consumers, retailers, and food-service operators. The core product line is bulk raw wildflower honey in 3.5 lb, 8 lb, and 16 lb formats, complemented by a "Superhoney" series of functional, superfood-infused blends (Turmeric & Ginger, Lemon & Ginger, and Propolis/Bee Pollen/Royal Jelly) and an ApiTerra Organic Tea Collection sub-brand across three herbal SKUs. The company operates a five-person team out of two Brooklyn addresses (240 Kent Ave headquarters and 1192 Gravesend Neck Road office).

The company's processing technology centers on cold whipping, which keeps honey below 95°F to preserve natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals while achieving a creamy texture, and a three-stage quality verification system that includes incoming raw material testing, post-packing testing, and third-party European independent lab validation. Products carry USDA-compliant labeling, OU Kosher certification, and non-GMO verification, and the company is a 1% for the Planet member. The 100% satisfaction guarantee and 302 on-site reviews averaging 89-95% positive ratings are used as quality and trust signals.

Apiterra runs a multi-channel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via a Shopify storefront (apiterrafoods.com) with free shipping on orders above $35, online marketplace listings on Amazon and Etsy, retail distribution in Whole Foods, Target, Wegmans, TJ-Max, and Burlington, and B2B wholesale to U.S. bakeries, breweries, and corporate cafeterias. Pricing is unit-based across SKUs (e.g., $35.99 for 3.5 lb, $69.99 for 8 lb, $104.99 for 16 lb; Superhoney 12 oz 3-packs at $25.99–$26.99; variety trio at $29.99). The company is founder-owned, bootstrapped, and operates without disclosed institutional funding.
