What Dry Volume Pricing Means To You
Mountain Fables Plantae goods are dry botanical materials measured and sold by dry volume rather than by weight. Dry volume refers to the amount of space the goods occupy when measured. Mountain Fables offers its Plantae goods in three convenient slider bag sizes: gallon-size, quart-size, and pint-size.
Each Plantae bag is generously filled to the brim with the stated dry-volume amount, plus a generous additional portion of Plantae at no extra cost. The goods are measured and sold by dry volume rather than by the ounce or pound. Each bag is weighed only as a final fill-consistency check.
As crafters and artisans, whether you are creating a project you have done before or learning or 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-term storage, divide the contents of the original bag into smaller portions.
- Transfer the portions into clean, dry, airtight containers or into new, sturdy resealable bags.
-
Dividing your order lets you use only what you need while protecting the unused portion from unnecessary exposure to air and moisture.
- Dried Plantae has a long shelf life when stored properly.
-
Store airtight containers 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 species and size 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; no material has been removed, and the same packaged quantity remains. As a final check for consistent fill levels, every bag of the same Plantae species and size is weighed.
📌 30 fl. oz. mayonnaise jars are used to give a visual idea of bag contents.
To give you a better concept of how much each size bag holds by species, the contents have been placed in familiar, see-through 30 fl. oz. mayonnaise jars. This comparison visual can be seen in the chart below.

Note: Mountain Fables (MTNF) Overstuffed Net-Weight Information: Mountain Fables Plantae products are sold by dry volume. Each Overstuffed bag is also weighed as a final fill-consistency check, and its net weight is shown on the label. Net weight represents the Plantae contents only and does not include the bag. Weights are expressed in U.S. customary avoirdupois units—1 pound (lb) equals 16 ounces (oz)—along with the corresponding metric measurement.

👀 Once shipped, Plantae bag fill levels may appear slightly less "Overstuffed" due to the natural settling of the contents. However the contents will still weight the same.
