Amy Roloff Wishes Matt Had Taken "Higher Road" in Roloff Rift

Little People, Big World fans don’t have to be told that the Roloff family feud just plain sucks.

It sucks for Matt, who seems to have taken on the villain role. It sucks for his kids, especially Zach and his wife Tori. The fallout from it sucks for the grandkids.

Amy knows all of those involved about as well as any person conceivably could, and is publicly weighing in.

She wishes that her ex-husband were handling this better … but she knows that it’s out of her hands.

Amy Roloff weighs in on Roloff rift

Amy Roloff had an extensive conversation with Us Weekly about the farm feud.

“I don’t know a lot of the details of the negotiation that went on between Zach and Matt,” she freely admitted.

All that she knows for sure is that she’s not thrilled with how the results are playing out.

“Matt is still the father, still ‘the adult,'” Amy pointed out.

“I don’t care how old your kids are,” she reasoned, “sometimes there are things they may need to learn.”

“But,” Amy continued, “you know as an adult, as a father, you may have to take the higher road.”

Amy expressed that it is “sad that it’s come to this.”

She does recognize that her ex-husband can be “grinding.”

Infamously, their conflicting personal styles and personalities were a major contributor to their divorce, perhaps even more so than Caryn.

“Parts of me are not exactly surprised,” Amy admitted.

She explained that this is “because I’ve dealt with Matt over the years.”

“And,” Amy characterized, “he can be tough.”

Like the rest of the family and all of their viewers, she is aware that the children have spent their lives being told that the farm will remain part of the family legacy.

Now, a massive chunk of the farm is being sold.

Ultimately, she hopes that something good can rise from the ashes of this bitter conflict.

“Change happens,” Amy acknowledged.

“It’s not always happy,” she understated.

“But eventually,” Amy expressed, “maybe this will be a step where we can all move forward and see how we can come back together.”

That is easier said than done, and Amy knows that.

Everyone involved would need to not only talk things out, but forgive each other, if they’re going to move forward.

That’s not just Matt and Zach. It especially includes Jeremy and Audrey, who have coveted Roloff Farms for many years.

Amy understands — perhaps better than Matt does — why there are so many hurt feelings that will not easily go away.

“We’ve heard over time this was going to be part of the family,” she acknowledged.

Amy recalled hearing countless times that “this was going to be the legacy.”

“And now to see the end result with a ‘for sale’ sign,” Amy went on.

That must have been crushing for all of them.

 This Roloff rift will not go away on its own, but even if fences end up being mended, Matt’s choice has forever shaped the destiny of the family.

Audrey Roloff Laments Loss of The Farm: It’s the Death of a Dream

It is no secret that Audrey and Jeremy Roloff feel that Matt screwed them over.

The Little People, Big World feud seems to have always been inevitable, because there’s no way to make everyone happy with something as big as the farm.

But Audrey says that it was more than just inevitable hurt feelings.

Calling it the “death of a dream,” Auj makes it clear that, for years, the couple thought that they would have at least a chance to buy the farm.

Matt Roloff’s version of events has not gone over well with his family.

Zach was the first to call him out in a very public way.

Audrey spoke to fans in a recent Instagram Q&A about the now-dead dream of purchasing Roloff Farms, in whole or in part, for themselves.

“We tried to back in May of 2020,” she revealed to her fans and followers on Instagram.

“We shared what we felt comfortable sharing about that in a podcast episode,” Audrey added, of course plugging her and Jeremy’s project.

She continued: “Jer and I hoped to take over his parents’ farm (or a portion of it) since he was a child.”

“It was something he was led to believe was possible,” Audrey wrote, taking on a decidedly accusatory tone.

“He made it very known to his family,” she emphasized.

“And,” Audrey continued, he made it known “publicly on TV.”

“It became a mutual dream when we got married,” Auj expressed.

“And,” she recalled, “we started working towards it.”

Audrey very accurately shared that it was “no secret” that the controversial couple hoped to close in on the family farm one day.

Audrey said that their plans were “very public,” which is fair enough.

It was clear on the show, and it was also clear on social media (and in their book, lol) after they departed reality television in 2018.

The implication is that Matt had plenty of chances to let his children (and in-laws) know that this might not happen … but didn’t.

“When we were finally at a point where it was practically possible, we made an offer,” Audrey revealed.

“But,” she continued, she and husband Jeremy “realized maybe it wasn’t meant to be.”

Audrey shared that, together, she and Jer planned on “saving” the farm.

“We realized that Jer’s family was not actually as aligned in the progression towards us acquiring it as we thought they were,” Audrey wrote.

That is an extremely awkward sentence, but those sometimes happen when you are phrasing things diplomatically.

“I say ‘save it,'” Auj explained, “because every year there has been this threat of having to sell the farm if … XYZ.”

“As you have maybe noticed with Jer’s family,” Auj wrote, “things can be a little complicated.”

So, too, are emotions.

She admitted that was “incredibly hard” for her and for Jeremy to let go of the farm and of their dream of buying it.

After all, there was more conecting them to the land than just Jeremy’s childhood.

Audrey reminded her fans and followers that the couple “fell in love there, got married there, helped run the businesses there.”

These are not milestones that are easily forgotten.

“We really did think we’d raise our kids there,” Audrey wrote.

“Like I said, it was the death of a dream,” she characterized.

Auj even went so far as to characterize the property as having been a “third parent” to Jeremy rather than “just a piece of property.”
