What have Zach, Jeremy and Jacob Roloff publicly said about their current living arrangements and involvement with Roloff Farms?
Executive summary
Jacob Roloff has publicly described himself and his young family as living on the Roloff Farms property while clarifying that patriarch Matt Roloff still owns the land and that Jacob and his wife rent their home and Jacob works on the farm [1] [2]. Zach and Jeremy have more distanced public profiles: Zach has said the farm “brings up a lot of resentment,” that his family moved more than an hour away and that visits are rare, while reporting indicates Jeremy likewise no longer lives on or works daily at Roloff Farms and that both brothers stepped away from the family’s long-running TV project [3] [4] [5] [6].
1. Jacob’s account: living “on the property” but not owning it
Jacob and his wife Isabel have repeatedly pushed back against social media assumptions by saying they live on the Roloff Farms property and are actively farming and raising their child there, while also stressing that Matt remains the owner and they rent their house rather than having purchased the land [1] [2]. Jacob wrote about living at “@rolofffarms,” about stewarding the land and teaching his son the farm life, and framed his work as focused on “community based agritourism,” signaling active day-to-day involvement even amid family conflict [2] [7]. Isabel’s TikTok explicitly displayed text stating “We live on the property along with Matt [Roloff] who owns it still” and said Jacob works on the farm full time, a formulation Jacob and Isabel have used to correct what they call misconceptions [1].
2. The nuance Jacob emphasizes: contradictions, stewardship and financial realities
Jacob has acknowledged public “contradictions” about farm life — noting he benefited financially from the show years ago and describing practical realities such as renting rather than owning the parcel they inhabit — and he has articulated goals about using the land to deepen local agritourism rather than merely serving outside tourism [2]. Reporting also notes that Jacob and his siblings had at points wanted to buy the farm but that Matt at times listed parts of the property for sale and eventually declared intentions affecting inheritance plans, which contextualizes Jacob’s insistence that living on the land doesn’t equal ownership [7] [8].
3. Zach’s public stance: distance, resentment and a move to Washington
Zach Roloff has been explicit that the farm “brings up a lot of resentment and old feelings,” that it would be “awesome” for his children to spend time there but is “unrealistic” after his family relocated more than an hour away, and that family dynamics with his father remain strained even as some sibling and maternal relationships are better [3]. Zach and his wife Tori confirmed they left the TV series and that their last family visit to the farm was tied to a child’s birthday, signaling a practical and emotional withdrawal from daily life on the property [4] [6].
4. Jeremy’s public footprint: absence from daily farm operations and quieter commentary
Public reporting depicts Jeremy as having moved off the farm and not involved in day-to-day Roloff Farms operations; he and his wife Audrey have likewise stepped away from the show and built their life elsewhere, but there are fewer directly attributable quotes from Jeremy in the provided reporting about his current address or ongoing role with the property [5] [6] [9]. Sources summarize that Jeremy, like Zach, pursued buying the farm at points and later left the show, but the record here lacks extensive first-person statements from Jeremy about his present living arrangements beyond general reporting that the siblings “now live in homes off of the Roloff land” [5] [9].
5. The larger context: Matt’s ownership, listings and media framing
Multiple reports make clear that Matt Roloff has at times listed portions of Roloff Farms for sale, taken the land off the market, announced shifting inheritance plans and resisted selling the farm outright to his children — facts that help explain why “living on the property” and “owning the farm” are distinct claims in public statements [7] [8]. Media outlets and family members have separately described the dispute in ways that can amplify conflict; some coverage emphasizes feud and sale listings while Jacob and Isabel emphasize stewardship and rental arrangements, underscoring competing narratives in the public record [4] [1].
6. What the public record does not show
The assembled reporting offers multiple first‑person statements from Jacob and Isabel and several candid interviews with Zach, but it contains comparatively limited direct quotations from Jeremy about current living arrangements or daily involvement; therefore, any definitive claim about Jeremy’s personal statement beyond broader reporting that he lives off the farm would exceed what these sources supply [5] [6].
