Clay

Clay is a common resource in Stardew Valley but most don’t know where to obtain it. Clay can be used for crafting anything from a Garden Pot all the way to making a Silo, which can be used for storing grass as animal feed.

Where to Get Clay

You can find Clay in Stardew Valley by tilling dirt or sand, mining, or breaking open Geodes.

  • Regular dirt – Tilling regular dirt has a chance to yield some clay, though not often.
  • Sand - Tilling sand (like on the beach) has a chance to yield some clay, though not often.
  • Geodes – Having geodes broken open for you has a chance of netting you some clay.
  • Mining – Clay nodes drop clay, but they are only found on Ginger Island.
  • Artifact Spot – If you till an Artifact spot (worms coming out the ground) it has a high chance of yielding up to 3 clay.
