Kris Venhaus, Co-Owner, Amish Home Decor
Kris’ path stretched from rural Minnesota to Palm Springs to single parenthood for 20 years and eventually to store ownership in Prescott.
She landed in Palm Springs, California, working as a nanny. She married at 23, had a daughter at 28 and was divorced by 31. At 32, she went back to college, receiving her bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership from Biola University. Kris worked 20 years in the country club industry.
She married second husband Greg in January 2017. Together they have three children, one grandson and two granddaughters.
They moved to Prescott in 2019, purchasing Amish Home Decor — with no former furniture experience — in April 2022. In May 2024, they started a nonprofit and in June 2025, closed escrow on 160 acres to build Heartland Ranch.
Heartland Ranch will serve children ages 4 to 12 who have experienced trafficking, with a mission to provide a safe, healthy and nurturing environment where healing can begin.
The goal is to help each child rediscover their inherent worth and understand the unique value they hold in this world. This will be achieved through a holistic approach including the arts, gardening, animal care, nutrition and alternative therapies.
