Little People’s Audrey & Jeremy Roloff drop nearly $700K in renovations on $1.5M farmhouse despite financial hardship
LITTLE People, Big World stars Audrey and Jeremy Roloff have dropped nearly $700,000 in renovations on a $1.5million farmhouse despite financial hardship.
Jeremy, 32, and Audrey, 31, bought a farmhouse in Hillsboro, Oregon for $1.5million in May 2022.

The couple bought a 1.5million farmhouse earlier this year
The 4,414 square-foot home features four bedrooms, four bathrooms and sits on four acres of farmland.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the parents of three have dropped over $700,000 in renovations on the home.
According to the Washington County Assessor’s Office, $694,570 worth of improvements were made to the property.
The improvements feature work on the main home, yard and a farm implement building.
The couple officially moved into the home months after the sale in August 2022.
BIG REMODEL
Audrey has referred to the home as a “fixer upper,” as she and Jeremy are working on renovating the house that she claims has “99 problems.”
She recently posted: “When you buy a fixer-upper on some land with three young children it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the ‘to-dos.’”
The former Little People, Big World star wrote on Instagram: “After a two-year search spanning all over the state of Oregon… IT. IS. TIME. We bought a farm!…
“We’ve got a lot of work to do to bring our vision to life, but Jer and I are excited to finally have some space to get our feet dirty (literally) and bring our dreams of using land into reality.”
FAMILY FEUD
The new home came after Jeremy’s plans to buy the family’s farm fell through.
Audrey explained of the situation, which has now led to a family feud: “Jer and I hoped to take over his parents’ farm (or a portion of it) since he was a child. It was something he was led to believe was possible. He made it very known to his family and publicly on TV. It became a mutual dream when we got married, and we started working towards it.
“When we were finally at a point where it was practically possible, we made an offer, but realized maybe it wasn’t meant to be. We realized that Jer’s family was not actually as aligned in the progression towards us acquiring it as we thought they were.
“We really did think we’d raise our kids there. Like I said, it was the death of a dream.”
Matt also refused to sell the property to Jeremy’s twin brother Zach.
Zach said on Little People, Big World: “My dad was definitely encouraging the conversation, [wife] Tori and [Matt’s girlfriend] Caryn [Chandler] came too.
“The north side is the 30 acres my mom and dad shared, and the whole thing was weird, he starts making excuses… suddenly me and my wife are not good enough to run the farm.
“Whether we don’t have the money, don’t have the skillset.”
Matt, 61, ultimately put 16 acres of the farm up for sale for a whopping $4million on May 12.
The listing has been removed and no sale has been reported.
COMPANY TROUBLES
Jeremy and Audrey’s pricey renovations come after The U.S. Sun previously reported her company AUJPOJ, LLC was officially dissolved by the state in September 2022 after she failed to file an annual report for the year.
Audrey frequently promoted the clothing line over Instagram, as she showed off shirts, sweaters, hats and more apparel with the phrases “Always More” and “Love More.”
In 2020, Audrey announced on her Instagram account that she was closing down the store.
She wrote: “As I step more fully into this new season of life as a mom with two littles, I need to take a step back from some things that demand a lot of my time.
“So after lots of discussion, prayer, and tears, I’ve decided to close the shop side of Always More for the foreseeable future.”
Despite the announcement, she continued to file annual business reports for AUJPOJ, LLC up until this year.
BUSINESS BUST
But Audrey recently opened up about the struggle of being an entrepreneur.
She wrote on Instagram: “Together we’ve designed and published 5 books to help encourage and equip families to be more intentional with how they are living/cherishing their life.
“From working online, to working with our hands renovating our mountain Airbnb cabin, and moving dirt on the farm to prepare for what’s to come here… we’ve always worked together.
“We’ve always loved entrepreneurship and honing in new skills through lots of trial and error.”
She also admitted her financial struggles through it all.
“Some of our business have made zero money, some have been extremely profitable, and others have actually cost us. Along the way we’ve quit/stopped a lot of things in order to start or give more attention to others.
Audrey and Jeremy recently bought a $700,000 cabin that they are currently renovating with plans to turn it into an Airbnb.
