Lofty Pops, a Troy-based handcrafted ice pop company founded in 2024 by the sister-brother team of Natalie Heiter and Philip Stakich, has achieved U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Organic certification through Quality Assurance International (QAI).
Lofty Pops are crafted with real fruit and organic ingredients, with no artificial colors or flavors. Each pop is dairy-free, gluten-free, and allergen-friendly, offering a premium frozen treat option that aligns with growing consumer demand for clean-label products.
The brand also features plastic-free, home compostable packaging.
“The USDA Organic certification sets the standard for what Lofty Pops stands for, and we’re proud to achieve it at this stage,” says Heiter, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Lofty Pops. “Families are asking better questions about what they eat, and we’ve built a product that answers them. This is how frozen treats should be made.”
The announcement comes as Lofty Pops enters a growth phase, expanding across high-traffic family destinations while building momentum toward broader retail and grocery opportunities.
Lofty Pops now are available for the full 2026 season at the Brookfield Zoo Chicago, Detroit Zoo, and Toledo Zoo, with additional expansion to Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisc., the Milwaukee County Zoo, and more to be announced. For retail locations, visit here.
