In a heartfelt and candid update, Jacob Roloff, the youngest son from the hit TLC reality show Little People, Big World, has revealed a new chapter in his life—he’s moved onto the Roloff family farm and taken over managing the land. Jacob, who left the show years ago, has mostly stayed out of the public eye, but his recent activities have reignited fans’ interest and admiration.
Unlike his siblings, Jacob stepped away from reality TV, choosing instead to live a more private and grounded life. Now, with his wife Isabel and their son Mateo, Jacob has embraced a simpler lifestyle, fully immersing himself in sustainable farming and land stewardship. He’s taken over the day-to-day operations on the Roloff Farms, once a major focus of the TLC show, and seems to be bringing a fresh, values-driven approach to the family legacy.
What’s striking is that Jacob’s return to the farm doesn’t signal a return to TV fame. On the contrary, he continues to maintain his distance from the limelight, even as he embraces a role deeply connected to the show’s roots. Fans familiar with Little People, Big World know how central the farm has been—not just as a backdrop, but as a symbol of family, transition, and legacy. Jacob now being at the helm feels both full circle and a quiet evolution.
Through social media and subtle public comments, Jacob has made it clear that he’s passionate about working the land responsibly, cultivating crops, and focusing on community-driven agriculture. While he’s rejected the fame that comes with being a Roloff on TV, he hasn’t turned away from his family’s heritage—just reimagined it on his own terms.
For longtime TLC fans, Jacob’s journey is a refreshing reminder that there’s more than one way to honor a family story. His focus on authenticity, simplicity, and meaningful work reflects a different kind of success, one rooted not in ratings but in purpose. While Jacob may not return to the screen, his quiet transformation might be one of the most inspiring updates Little People, Big World viewers have seen in years.
