Mountain Fables Plantae goods are dry botanical materials measured and sold by dry volume rather than by weight. Dry volume measures the amount of space the material occupies in a standard dry measure.

Each bag’s dry volume is listed in dry pints or dry quarts rather than in ounces or pounds. Find out more about bag sizes and fill practices below.

As crafters and artisans, whether you are recreating a familiar project or learning and experimenting with a new one, having an ample supply of your chosen Plantae material is essential. If the Plantae desired for your project is not growing right outside your door, acquiring it in bulk can be quite challenging. A bulk supply of Plantae gives you the flexibility to create one or more projects in whatever size or quantity you desire. It also offers several practical advantages:

  • Having a bulk supply allows you to work freely without the hassle and expense of repeatedly ordering small amounts if your project requires more than anticipated, you decide to create more than originally planned, or you need extra material to correct a mistake.

  • Buying in bulk makes it easy to create multiple projects or to share, swap, and gift Dried Plantae with fellow crafters and artisans in your creative circle.

  • Mountain Fables offers Bulk Dried Plantae in several generously filled package sizes. This added supply gives you the freedom to focus on your creative work with fewer interruptions.

  • The great thing about Dried Plantae is its long shelf life when stored properly. This means you do not have to use it all at once!

  • For longer storage, divide the contents of the original bag into smaller portions.
  • Transfer the portions into clean, dry, airtight containers or new, sturdy resealable bags.
  • Dividing your order allows you to use only what you need while protecting the unused portion from unnecessary exposure to air and moisture.
  • Store the sealed containers or bags in a cool, dry, dark place to preserve freshness and maintain overall quality.

Natural Fill Variations and Settling

🌿 The leaves, stems, and flowers of each plant species naturally vary in size, texture, and density. As a result, the fill level and appearance of one Plantae species may differ from another. Even bags of the same size and species may look slightly different because individual plant materials have unique shapes and structures and may settle differently.

Handling and shipping may also cause the contents to settle, making the bag appear less full. This change is purely cosmetic and natural. No material has been removed, and the packaged quantity remains the same. 


📌Clear 30 fl oz mayonnaise jars are used to provide a familiar visual comparison of the bag contents.

The chart below presents these comparisons for each bag size and Plantae species.

🛍️ Important Purchase Information

The mayonnaise jars are shown for visual comparison only and are not included with your purchase. * Your order will include one slider bag of Craft Plantae in the size you select.


Mountain Fables Overstuffed: A Little Extra in Every Bag

Each Plantae bag contains the labeled dry volume amount... plus a generous added portion. Once filled, each bag of the same Plantae species and size is weighed as a final check for consistent fill levels. The goods are measured and sold by dry volume. The weight check is used as an internal quality and quantity control measure.

👀 Once shipped, the contents may naturally settle, making the bag appear slightly less Overstuffed. This affects only its appearance; no Plantae has been removed, and the same packaged quantity remains.
