In the post, Matt, 62, and his ex-wife Amy, 61, reflected on their family-run event with only one weekend left to go.
After TLC star Amy spoke, Matt also shared some words while sitting in the back of a tractor.
He shared: “So today being Sunday, we’ve got one more weekend, three more days only. We have had an amazing season so far. Attendance has been up, everybody has told us what a great time they’re having.
“We’re super happy with all the turnout. Lots of first-timers, lots of people that have been here every year for many, many years, it’s just been wonderful.”
However, he then named who he grouped as “everybody” in his family, and Zach and Tori didn’t make the list.
Matt said: “Amy’s been here every day, Chris has been tour guiding. I’ve been here, Jacob, Izzy, Mateo, everybody’s been here having a great Fall with all of our visitors.
“So, thank you and I hope to see you – if you haven’t come out yet, I hope to see you our last weekend, next weekend.”
In the comment section, one fan exclaimed: “I can’t wait!!! I’m coming next weekend! Rain or shine I’m there!!”
However, another social media user pointed out: “Miss seeing the other kids Zack and his family…”
BIG BOYCOTT
Tension started brewing between the Roloffs when Matt refused the offers from twin sons Zach and Jeremy to buy a portion of his 143-acre farm in Helvetia, Oregon.
Zach slammed the Roloff patriarch by calling him a “bad grandparent” who does not “value his family.”
In September, Matt revealed that Zach and Tori wouldn’t be hosting private tours this season along with his mom Amy as they have in years past.
On a post by Roloff Farms’ official Instagram account, a fan asked: ‘Is Zach giving tours this year?”
The account replied: “No but other family members are.”
In a post after the event kicked off, Matt snubbed Tori by dedicating a long message to his other daughter-in-law Audrey, 32, and tagging his family members apart from Zach and Tori.
Matt wrote: “Thank you Audrey for spending the day with Ember, Body and the Rad man out playing on the roloff patch last Friday with everyone from all over.
“Everyone loved seeing you and the kids and grandpa and mini sure loved sharing you with all the love that was visiting us @rolofffarms from around the world.”
He concluded: “I know Jer was traveling but it was awesome to have you share the day with us. Love love! @audreyroloff @jacobroloff45 @isabelsofiarock @amyjroloff @jeremyroloff @rolofffarms.”
CUTTING TIES
Amid the tension between Zach, Tori, and the rest of the family, it seems they might be putting their television careers behind them.
Matt is engaged to Caryn Chandler, whose son, Connor, divulged some Roloff secrets to The U.S. Sun, suggesting that Zach and Tori Roloff will not return to the show.
Connor revealed that the couple rarely visit Matt’s 106-acre Roloff farm.
Asked how often they come to visit, Connor exclusively told The U.S. Sun: “Based off what I know, maybe twice a year. You know, they moved, obviously, they moved away and just with all the indifferences, they’re kind of doing their own thing.”
He then added: “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.”
