Little People’s Jeremy Roloff obtains student pilot license after not buying dad Matt’s family farm

LITTLE People, Big World alum Jeremy Roloff has obtained his student pilot license after it was announced that he would not be buying the family farm. 

The Sun can exclusively reveal Jeremy, 31, received his student pilot certificate on July 23, 2021. 

According to the Federal Airman Administration, Jeremy is “prohibited” from carrying passengers. 

Jeremy revealed in 2021 that he has been working towards a private pilot license, as flying was a childhood dream of his. 

His wife Audrey, 30, confirmed her husband’s hobby earlier this week when she showed off their new Bend, Oregon cabin.

She captioned a photo alongside her husband and their children Ember, 3, Bode, 1, and Radley, who they welcomed in November, in front of the cabin: “In the meantime we are excited to let you in on our newest project. This dreamy little snow covered cabin in the woods that you see behind us. We’ve had our pulse on the Bend area for a while because we spend so much time here. 

“Over the summer we saw this place pop up and Jer immediately flew (since that’s his newest hobby) out there with a friend to go see it... I was super pregnant with Radley so I stayed home. Also not super comfy with the idea of flying with Jer yet.” 

MOVING ON

As The Sun previously reported, the couple bought the home in September 2021 for $750,000 under a trust and LLC. 

The 2,961-square foot home boasts three bedrooms, four bathrooms and sits on 0.5 acres. 

The new career comes after Jeremy and his brother, Zach, did not move forward with purchasing Roloff Farms.

FUTURE FARM PLANS

Dad Matt responded on Instagram in May 2021 when asked if Jeremy bought the farm: “No, not yet. No, we haven’t settled what we’re going to do with the farm. It’s all being discussed actively.”

Audrey wrote on Instagram around that time that them not buying the farm was the “death of a dream.”

Son Zach also expressed his desire to buy the farm, but he ended up moving to Washington with his wife Tori and their two children in October.

Tori wrote on her Instagram Story this week when asked about buying the farm: “Some things just don’t go according to plan. But it all worked out for us.”

ROLOFF FARMS

The 100-acre farm in Helvetia - just 15 miles outside of Portland - is run by patriarch Matt Roloff after his divorce from ex-wife, Amy. 

The family purchased the “small fixer upper” property in 1990 when it had only a “beat up old farmhouse, broken down barn and overgrown peach orchard.”

Over the years, Roloff Farms has been transformed to over 100 acres and garners visitors from all over the world which has been seen on Little People, Big World. 

The sprawling property is home to the family’s famous 36-acre pumpkin patch as well as a hand-built wooden ship.
