Zach Roloff’s time on “Little People, Big World” has ended due to a major falling
out with his father, Matt Roloff, over the family farm. Zach was devastated when
Matt offered to sell part of the farm to him at an exorbitant price, leading to
a significant rift in their relationship. Deciding to step out of his father’s shadow, Zach chose to focus on his family and podcast, ultimately leaving the show.
Zach debuted on the reality TV series at the age of 13 in 2006, and fans watched him grow into a man with a wife, Tori, and three children: Jackson, Lilah, and Josiah. Despite early success, the family dynamic changed when Amy Roloff remarried after her divorce from Matt, and Zach’s twin brother, Jeremy, left the show with his wife Audrey. Amidst these changes, Zach remained committed to working on the family farm, which he dreamed of running someday.
However, Zach’s aspirations were crushed when Matt sold parts of the farm without consulting any of his children, leading Zach to feel betrayed. This act, combined with Matt’s decision to offer Zach land for $4 million, a price he couldn’t afford, led to a deepening feud. Their strained relationship became public in 2020 when Zach accused Matt of manipulating the narrative about the farm sale.
Realizing that his future lay elsewhere, Zach moved his family to a new property in Battleground, Washington, distancing himself further from the farm and the show. Although Matt attempted to reconcile by gifting Zach a lawn mower, their relationship remained strained. Zach’s departure from “Little People, Big World” was both shocking and expected, given the ongoing tension with his father. Zach now believes that his relationship with Matt will never be the same, marking the end of an era for the Roloff family.
