How exciting! I am guessing you are embarking on your own sourdough journey, I am so happy you are here!

First, let’s get you into our community in just
3 Simple Steps!

Secondly, let’s get you familiar with your starter. Here are some next steps after you take yours home!

How exciting that you just got your starter. I understand it can may come with a lot of questions, so I am here to help! Make sure to feed your starter every 24 hours if left on counter, or every 5-7 days if left in the fridge without using it to bake. If you bake with it, just make sure to feed back what you used, and this is considered a “feeding".”

If you were only given a little, make sure to first transport to a bigger container, if necessary, and feed 1/2 cup of flour to 1/4 cup of water without discarding to create a bigger starter. Do this for the next two days while it sits on the counter. I like to have around 300 grams of starter on hand.

After that, you can put it in the fridge and feedings will continuously be 1 full cup of flour and 1/2 cup of water after half is discarded. Make sure to feed or use every 5-7 days. If these addings seem off, go for the consistency in the photo displayed.

Happy Homemaking!

a letter from Ashley

hi there! :) I am Ashley, and I just want to explain a little about the mission here at IRON31. There is a lot going on around here, such as tallow, sourdough, homemaking, devotionals, but let me narrow your focus.

We simply exist to help women restore to the original design the Lord intended for them both physically and spiritually.

With many years of coaching behind me, I found that most, if not all, women struggle with not feeling enough as a woman, so they search the world, their careers, their relationships, and their belongings to gain the value and worth they are searching for, only leading to dead ends, heartbreak, and a chaotic, comparison-filled life.

Sister, I want you to know that you are made for much more than this world offers. YOU have a divine and specific purpose here on earth, but your continuous search for your identity in the world and your paralysis from insecurities and past wounds will prevent you from experiencing it. Take a look at the resources we have available below, we would be honored to come alongside you in your womanhood!

Listen in on edifying conversations that are full of God-given teachings and revelations that will direct your eyes towards Christ as you walk through your womanhood.

Peak at our Digital Resources

Our resources serve as a guiding light to the One who knows every aspect of your womanhood, steering you away from the noise of secular influences & redirecting your focus.

There is a bigger mission here at IRON31..

As mentioned above, we exist to help women restore back to their God given design, and our mission is to teach woman how to use the Bible to experience freedom from shame and comparison so they can walk in their God-given design and purpose. Our tangible products, such as our tallow, simply serve as a reminder of the PHYSICAL resources God has given us to heal and nurture, but spiritually He has always given us a resource to depend on, and that is His written word.

Take a deeper look into what we offer in our IRON31 community!

UNSHACKLED

Unshackled is a 13-week course designed to free you from the strongholds in your life that are affecting your relationships, body image, femininity, worth, and identity. This course teaches you how to use the Bible as your primary weapon against the waging, spiritual war so that you can step into who the Lord has already designed you to become.

Unshackled brings awareness of the power of Jesus and reveals unknown roots of your past that are directing your life. It is time to live a life of freedom and give no more authority to the bondages you are tangled in.

Free Devotionals

We believe in cultivating a spiritual resilience that empowers women to chase after God's voice above all human opinions. Each devotional is crafted to be a compass, leading you through the peaks and valleys of your journey, fostering a closeness to the Lord that goes beyond the ordinary. By immersing yourself in these resources, you'll be equipped not only to navigate life's decisions with divine wisdom but also to embrace and embody the unique design God has intended for you.

Ministry Mosh Pit


The vision behind this event is to bring women under one roof so that they can serve the community with their businesses.

This serves two purposes. To give Jesus through our different talents, interests, and passions, as well as continue to get the name of women’s ministries out there organically. There is power in getting a group of women under one roof, and this will serve that purpose! So come and join us, and see what our vendors have to offer you!

We are so excited for our CHRISTMAS version of our market!
