Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has pleaded with fans to visit his family’s farm
Fans previously vowed to boycott the farm’s annual pumpkin festival
Matt posted a snap on Instagram encouraging his followers to visit the farm
In it, the Roloff patriarch captured a nighttime pic of “The Roloff Gotel,” a structure at the farm where he houses numerous goats.
The snap showed a silhouette of three goats standing beside their supposed home, with a sign out front.
Matt encouraged his followers to visit the attraction in his caption: “Come see our friends at @rolofffarms this October 1st-29th.”
The TV star has added a lot to the $4million farm over the years, but it was recently announced that one popular attraction would not be happening this year.
‘NOT THE SAME!’
Earlier this month, the farm’s official Instagram page shared an update that they will not be offering private tours throughout their famed pumpkin season.
The news could be due to Matt’s son Zach’s apparent departure from the family’s TLC reality series, as he led the tours with his mother, Amy, 61.
Critics lashed out on social media, stating they wouldn’t attend the pumpkin festival if Zach, 33, weren’t present.
“Not the same without Zach doing tours!” one person wrote.
“If Zach’s not there I’m not going,” said another.
QUITTING THE SHOW
Shortly before, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Zach and his wife Tori, 32, weren’t returning to LPBW next season.
Matt’s fiancé, Caryn Chandler’s son Connor, confirmed that although cameras were rolling for Season 25, Zach and Tori weren’t a part of it.
Tension has boiled between Zach and his father since Matt refused to sell him a portion of the farm.
The move prompted Zach and Tori to move with their three kids away from their family in Oregon to a $1million property in Battleground, Washington.
“Based on what I know, maybe [they visit] twice a year,” Connor told The U.S. Sun about their strained relationship.
“You know, they moved, obviously, they moved away and just with all the indifferences, they’re kind of doing their own thing.”
He continued: “I did hear through the grapevine that they do not want to be on another season if the show were to continue and they just want to do their own thing.
“I do believe no matter whether there’s a continuance or not, Zach and Tori probably will not be seen on the next season.”
SO OVER IT
Zach was the last remaining Roloff sibling who starred in the series.
His twin brother Jeremy and his wife, Audrey, 32, left the show in 2016, and his other siblings, Molly, 29, and Jacob, 27, bowed out years earlier.
Caryn is also ready for the show to end, although Connor claims the decision is ultimately up to Matt.
“I know my mom has had these feelings about the show for a while and it’s a little stressful and she kind of wants to stop the show, the 24-year-old admitted.
“She’s mentioned it a couple of times, but ultimately I think it does come down to what Matt really wants. It was his show, to begin with, and revolves around little people.
“But I think my mom will be ready to have it come to an end and move on with her life and her and Matt’s future.”
It was recently revealed that Matt’s on Zach and his daughter-in-law, Tori, would not be returning to LPBW next season
Matt’s fiance Caryn Chandler is also reportedly not interested in returning to the show but it’s Matt’s call on when the series will end
