“My twin boys decided not to consider working together toward a possible joint sale. Both of them (along with their growing families) had moved on to other interests and investments…. and even tho a substantial family discount and a ‘gift of equity’ was offered by both Amy and I….(and I still owe Amy a bundle of money) ..they decided individually that the timing was not right for them to purchase a part of the farm at this time,” he continued, writing of 31-year-old sons Jeremy and Zach. “Based on that, turning the big 60 in my cranky old body, the continuing maintenance/demands of the farm- the difficult decision was made so I could take steps toward my retirement goals.”

It wasn’t all bad news for Roloff and Roloff Farm visitors. The Little People, Big World star went on to share some “GOOD news.” Roloff teased, “you never know what the future might hold for the ’93’ un-charted & pristine acres that do remain in the Roloff Family for all to enjoy !”
