The highly recognized stars of Little People Big World, Zach and Tori Roloff, found themselves engaged in a heated dispute a few seasons ago. The source of conflict arose when Matt Roloff proposed that they purchase the family farm. Unfortunately, they were unable to come to an agreement and negotiations fell through. Consequently, their relationship became strained, leading the young LPBW couple to relocate to a new home in Washington.
Since then, the fanbase has been divided on the matter. Many fans support Tori and Zach, believing that they were treated unfairly by the patriarch. On the other hand, some argue that Matt acted within reason and there was nothing wrong with selling the farm. However, fans remain uncertain about the price Zach may have offered to acquire the property. So, what was the figure?
In LPBW Season 23 and subsequent episodes, viewers witnessed ongoing clashes between Matt and Zach. Their relationship remained estranged, with no signs of improvement. It has now been two years since the failed negotiations over Roloff Farms, and tensions continue to run high.
It is worth noting that when Amy Roloff was married to Matt, she also held a stake in Roloff Farms. However, following their divorce, Amy decided to sell her portion of the property to Matt and moved out. She sold her land for a significantly lower price, starting at $667,000 and later increasing to $975,000. Amy believed that this decision would enable her sons to purchase the farmland from their father at a similar price.
According to Screenrant, Zach claimed in his confessionals that he made a “competitive offer” based on the amount his mother sold the land to Matt. While viewers are aware that the LPBW patriarch initially wanted to sell 16 acres of land for $4 million, offering his sons a special “family discount,” fans speculate that Zach may have aimed to acquire the farm for $1.6 million. The fact that Matt decided to list the property for $4 million indicates a significant difference of nearly half a million dollars. It is now clear to LPBW viewers why this was a devastating blow for Zach and how he must have felt betrayed by his own father.
