A big priority is to make sure customers can still get their treasured, home-baked pies for Thanksgiving.
"We want to make sure all of our pie customers are able to enjoy our delicious pies for Thanksgiving," wrote Applegate Farm Market.
"We are taking orders once again this year. After that point, we will make the decision whether we will remain partially open as we begin our move out."
As for what comes next, the market's owners say they "have some opportunities and plans which we will share with you soon."
For now, though, market operations will cease over the winter "to make the transition to the new business plan."
One thing folks don't have to worry about is the market's apple cider doughnuts. They will be available no matter what when the market's business operation resumes.
Anyone having a gift card is asked to use it by the end of November.
"Thank you for all your support over the past years. We are looking forward to sharing our new venture with you," wrote the market.
