DINWIDDIE — Just days before National Doughnut Day, Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen posted an announcement that shocked many fans. The Dinwiddie-based food truck business had closed indefinitely.

"It is with deep regret that we need to inform you, our dear customers, that some things happened this past weekend that were out of our control, and with us going out of the country, we don't have time to resolve them and be able to reopen and make donuts," Yoder's posted on Facebook.

Fans are mourning the loss of their favorite authentically handmade sourdough rings of goodness. On Yoder's Facebook post, over 500 fans have expressed their disappointment, gratitude and well wishes, and nearly 700 donut lovers have shared the sad news.

"Thank you so much for the wonderful experiences you have given us. We have had great memories through the years and should you ever return we will be here to support you," India Elizabeth Lipton posted.

Laurie Blaha Hopkins regretted not eating more of Yoder's donuts after hearing the news.

"We just lost the best donuts in the world. I hope you can bring your donuts back into our world again one day. Many blessings to you and your family [double heart emoji]," Hopkins posted.

One fan expressed how Yoder's decision to close may extend her life.

"Honestly, you may be saving my life. I live a five-minute walk from one of your spots. Good luck to you," Adrian Chapman posted.

"That’s so sad to hear! There will never be a donut like Mrs. Yoder’s. We hope to see you again someday! Much love and good luck in whatever awaits you [heart emoji]," Ruth Rice Levy posted.

"I never thought I would miss a donut so much," Tasha Stephens posted, "I wish I had the money. I would buy the company and keep the tradition going!"

Brittany Watson, a learning specialist with Prince George County Public Schools, expressed her sadness and shared a fond memory.

"One of my favorite memories as a new teacher in Prince George three years ago was the experience of eating a warm, delicious donut from Mrs. Yoder’s Kitchen [heart emoji]," Watson posted.

"Enjoy your mission trip and be safe. Sorry things didn't work out. You'll have a huge fan base waiting on your return," Belinda Wray posted.

Karyn Riviere Cusimano and her kids enjoyed many of Yoder's yummy donuts.

"Thanks for trying so hard to make it work, but we understand that you're doing what's most important which is doing what God is calling you to do," Cusimano posted. "You never know... maybe in the future it will happen again [seven heart emojis]."

Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen

In March, Yoder's shut down its operations temporarily due to management issues. On May 2, Yoder's announced its donuts would be rolling again.

On May 13, the day before Yoder's had hoped to have a soft opening, they posted the following on Facebook, "We are waiting on some permits so that we can continue. We will keep you updated as we go along. Thanks for your patience."

The owners, part of the Mennonite community, threw in the towel... for now [many hope] ... two weeks later.

"We don't know what the future holds for Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen, but we will definitely look at it in the future," Yoder's posted.

The Miller and Amaya families have been called to serve in Nicaragua. A family acquired the business to continue the tradition but ended up returning the business back due to a conflict in their family.

Yoder's posted a farewell: "We love you guys and have enjoyed serving you our special donuts. We wish each one of you the best."
