Little People, Big World fans watched the Roloff family experience major drama when Matt Roloff chose to put Roloff Farms on the market instead of selling it to one of his four children. After his ex-wife, Amy Roloff, sold her portion of the land to him following their divorce, Matt had a big decision to make about the future of the property.
June 2019
Amy and Matt raised their kids – Jeremy, Zach, Molly and Jacob – on the property, and previously spoke about how they hoped to pass it down to one of their children. Following their divorce in 2016, Amy decided to sell her portion of the land to her ex in 2020 for $975,000. The sale meant that she gets no say on what he does with the farm.
Both Zach and Jeremy had expressed interest in taking over the farm, though fans watched Matt’s negotiation process with Zach during season 22 of the TLC show in 2021.
“When Zach and I finally sat down, we were really in very different camps about what kind of a deal could go on,” Matt explained in a confessional. “Zach came in real hot. He didn’t come in to negotiate. He came in to demand.”
Meanwhile, Zach said he didn’t agree with how Matt was handling the negotiation process. “You’re not dictating the terms here,” he told producers about his dad. “You’ve dictated too much for too long.”
