Matt Roloff’s journey on Little People, Big World has been notoriously fraught, but he’s revealed new information after a non-disclosure agreement expired. The Roloff family is in shambles after Amy Roloff and Matt’s divorce. Amy remarried Chris Marek following her divorce from Matt, while Jeremy Roloff and his wife, Audrey Roloff, decided to leave the show to focus on other endeavors. Despite these shifts, Zach Roloff and Tori Roloff remained committed to his family and the farm. However, everything changed in Little People, Big World season 25.

Matt put a portion of the farm, including their original family home, up for sale without consulting his children. This move deeply hurt Zach, as he felt betrayed by his father’s actions. Things only got worse when Matt offered the land to Zach for a price he couldn’t afford, signaling to Zach that his father had no intention of passing on the farm to him. The strained relationship between Zach and Matt escalated, with disagreements popping up online. Matt now has more to say about what happened with his son.

Amy Roloff Doesn’t Like All Of Matt’s Decisions About The Farm Either
She Was Shocked At How Matt Handled The Sale
Amy and Matt have also clashed regarding his farm sale decisions. In an episode from March 2024, Amy expressed her sadness about the state of the farm. In a conversation with friends Lisa and Deb, she shared how the farm feels different since Matt is building a new house there with his fiancé Caryn, alluding to her disagreement. Amy felt the farm was empty but understood that the divorce set these issues into motion.

Amy regretted selling the farm to Matt, hoping he would negotiate a lower price with her sons.

Amy sold her 32 acres of the family farm to Matt in 2020 for $975,000. She hoped that selling her half would facilitate a repurchase by her older sons. However, Matt handled this differently than Amy would’ve hoped. Matt eventually paid $1,642,000 to own the entirety of Roloff Farms, leading to tension between him and Zach. Zach felt cheated by his father’s counteroffer, which differed significantly from his initial offer based on what Matt bought Amy out for.

Did Little People, Big World’s Matt Roloff Sell Out?
The Roloff Farms Sale Has Been Confusing
The sale of Roloff Farms has been quite confusing. In May 2022, Matt initially listed 16 acres, including the original family home, for sale at $4 million. However, he withdrew the listing in December 2023 after reducing the price to $3,395,000. After the unsuccessful sale, Matt transformed the property into a short-term rental, allowing guests to stay in the family home starting November 2022. Therefore, it seems the farm has not been sold, and he and Caryn are still living on the property.

Matt revealed Jacob Roloff is currently running the entire farm. However, this is not a long-term solution. Matt has previously stated on the show that Amy will inherit the property after his death to avoid conflicts among their children, and Caryn agrees with this arrangement. While the farm decisions undoubtedly tore the Roloff family apart, Matt appears to have expressed some regret. He can do nothing to go back in time, but perhaps with some humility, he and Zach can heal, even if Zach and Tori’s Little People, Big World tenure is over.

All episodes of Little People, Big World are available to stream on Discovery+.
