Little People’s Matt Roloff finally chooses which son he would prefer to take over family farm as siblings feud

Little People, Big World’s Matt Roloff has finally chosen which son he would prefer to take over the family farm – but they might not be on board, The Sun can confirm.

The 60-year-old patriarch runs Roloff Farms, a 100-acre farm in Helvetia, Oregon that is famous for its 36-acre pumpkin patch.

He has three sons, Jacob, Zach, and Jeremy, along with daughter Molly, an accountant, with ex-wife Amy.

The sons have all shown interest at one time or another in taking over the family business, as sources say Matt could soon retire and spend more time at his vacation home in Arizona with girlfriend Caryn Chandler.

But who will take the reigns has been the biggest question from fans of the show, and it seems Matt has switched gears after Zach, 31, and Jeremy appeared to be battling for the job.

“Matt would prefer Jacob and wife Isabel to take over the farm but he’s not sure they are on board at the moment,” a source exclusively told The Sun.

The insider continued: “He is the youngest son but Matt knows Jacob has potential, they are on the farm a lot, and Matt thinks this is a good way to teach him a lot of things he needs to learn.

“Zach has also mentioned taking over the farm, and Jeremy has said in the past he would like it, so Matt is still kind of stuck on what the next steps are, but he would prefer Jacob.

“Matt is on good terms with all his sons, and Jeremy has been working on making the pumpkin season for visitors, but the situation of who will take over the farm is still an issue yet to be resolved.”

Jeremy and his wife, Audrey, 30, were very keen to take over, but the 31-year-old recently obtained his student pilot license, The Sun revealed.

The move came six months before they told fans on social media buying the farm was no longer an option, but declined to comment on why their plans has changed.

‘LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN’

Meanwhile, Zach and wife Tori, 30, recently moved to Washington with their children – snapping up a 3,300-square-foot home for almost $1M, which sits on two acres of land.

In January, a fan asked Tori on Instagram: “Is taking over the farm still on the table?”

She responded firmly: “Nope. We’re loving this little slice of heaven.”

Another fan asked: “What happened to Zach and Jeremy’s desires of wanting to buy Roloff Farms? It disappeared.”

Tori replied: “It definitely didn’t. Some things just don’t go according to plan. But it all worked out for us.”

“We haven’t settled what we’re going to do with the farm. It’s all being discussed actively,” Matt told followers in May 2021.

Audrey later wrote on her account that not purchasing the farm was the “death of a dream.”

Matt then listed himself as both the President and Secretary of Roloff Farms on the company’s annual business report.

The Sun has reached out to TLC for comment.

PRIVATE JACOB

If Jacob, 25, was to take over it could spell the end of the show, as he opted out of appearing a number of years ago and has since condemned reality TV.

He later alleged he was molested by a former producer for LPBW, keeping the harrowing abuse a secret before going public on Instagram in December 2020.

Matt later talked to the First Class Fatherhood podcast about the news, admitting: “We, as a family, found out just two days — two or three days — before that [Instagram post].

“Jacob sent out a text to the family, a group text. And it was hard. It was a heartbreaking revelation. It caught us all by surprise. We had no idea.”

Matt said Jacob explained the incident occurred in 2015.

REALITY TV SNUB

“It didn’t happen on the farm,” Matt added, “it happened off the farm. It’s one of those things where you think you’ve graced your family and prepared your kids for things like that.”

The Sun’s insider insists Jacob’s new home with Isabel and their son, who was born in December last year, is not on the farm, despite rumors after they shared a number of social media photos.

“Jacob and Lizzy are renting in Hillsboro, Oregon, but Jacob is working on the farm for Matt,” they confirmed.

‘WILL NEVER HAPPEN’

Back in 2016, Jacob slammed the show, telling Instagram followers: “I get comments on here all the time about how people ‘miss me on the show’ or telling me I should ‘do a few more episodes’ with the family; I’m posting this to say that that will never happen.

“For the sake of ‘the episode’ and ratings I’ve seen a lot of STORYLINES drawn up [loosely] about our lives, and when I was standing here, behind the scenes and watching it from an outside perspective I just couldn’t stop laughing.

“Laughing at how hard the producers have to try to get us to follow the talking points, and at how ridiculous the talking points are.”

For now, Jacob and Isabel may need some persuading when it comes to taking over Roloff Farms, after previously denying they were going to snap up half of the tourist attraction.

In late October, photograph Isabel scoffed at the idea, telling a fan: “I also go to the Thai place down the street a lot but have no plans of purchasing it.”
