What is Catnip and Why Should You Choose Organic?
Catnip is a plant belonging to the mint family. It contains an essential oil called nepetalactone, which triggers a euphoric reaction in many cats. However, not all catnip is created equal. Traditional catnip agriculture, both domestic and overseas, may lack proper regulation, leading to exposure to harmful pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals.
Our USDA organic catnip is free from these synthetic substances, providing the safest and cleanest option for your cat, you, and other family members.
The USDA organic certification guarantees that our catnip products meet some of the most rigorous organic standards globally. These standards are verified through regular inspections, which are part of the USDA’s commitment to promoting a healthy and sustainable food system.
Benefits of Buying USDA Organic Catnip Grown in the USA
- Safety First: Many catnip products sourced from overseas are produced in areas with weak agricultural regulations. These plants may contain pesticide residues, fungicides, and other harmful chemicals that can affect your cat’s health. Our organic catnip is cultivated under the strictest organic farming practices in the USA, ensuring it’s free from toxic substances.
- Environmental Responsibility: We believe that caring for our cats extends beyond just the products they use. Eco-conscious farming methods reduce the environmental footprint of our catnip production, preserving the planet for future generations of pets and their families.
- Better for Sensitive Cats: Cats with sensitive stomachs or allergies may benefit from organic catnip. Without chemical residues, the risk of adverse reactions to pesticides or fertilizers is eliminated, ensuring your cat can safely enjoy the best catnip experience.
- More Potent Catnip: Organic catnip is often grown in healthier, nutrient-rich soils that foster the production of more potent oils, making it a more enjoyable experience for your cat. This can lead to more active play, mental stimulation, and long-lasting fun.

How to Identify Truly Organic Catnip
While many brands may claim to offer organic products, not all are created equally. Some sellers use terms like “natural” or “eco-friendly” as marketing buzzwords, but these claims are often vague and unregulated. When shopping for organic catnip, it's crucial to look for the USDA organic seal, which certifies that the product is grown without harmful chemicals or synthetic fertilizers.
Choosing catnip with clear organic labeling ensures that your cat gets the purest, most potent product available, and that you’re supporting responsible farming practices. At toe beans,® we take transparency seriously and are proud to share the details of our sourcing and manufacturing processes.
How to Safely Buy USDA Organic Catnip
When buying catnip for your cat, it’s essential to be informed about what makes a product truly organic. Here are some tips to help you identify USDA organic catnip and make a safe choice for your cat:
- Check for the USDA Organic Seal: This official seal guarantees that the catnip was grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
- Avoid Vague Claims: Terms like “natural,” “eco-friendly,” or “chemical-free” sound great, but they are often not regulated. Always verify organic claims with official certifications.
- Research the Brand: Choose reputable brands like our Momma Knows Best Organics®, which are transparent about their sourcing and production processes. We’re committed to quality, integrity, and the well-being of your pets.
- Inspect the Packaging: Look for clear, honest labeling that describes the ingredients and sourcing, country of origin and USDA organic certifying organization. Avoid products that use excessive packaging or that lack detailed product information.
