Sheffield Pottery Inc.

Sheffield Pottery Inc. is an infield mix supplier based in Sheffield, MA, in the heart of the Berkshires. The company sources its clay from a natural deposit in the Housatonic River Valley, which gives their material a regional character tied to western Massachusetts geology. Their baseball field infield mix is blended to run roughly 50–60% clay to 40–50% sand, a ratio that falls within the range many groundskeepers target for a surface that compacts well, sheds water at a reasonable rate, and still provides enough cushion and traction for safe play. Getting that clay-to-sand balance right is fundamental to infield performance, affecting how true a ball rolls, how well the surface withstands rain, and how quickly it can be prepared for play.

Beyond the infield mix, Sheffield Pottery also stocks straight infield clay suited for pitcher’s mounds and batter’s boxes, where a denser, more compact material is typically required to hold up under repeated foot strike and deliver consistent footing. Bulk pickup is available at the Berkshire County location, and regional trucking can bring material to fields across the area. See the contact and location details on this page to get in touch.
