I used to own/run a hot sauce biz. I did quite a bit of sales, but it started to grow to the point where it was eating into all my spare time, and quitting my day job to pursue it full-time wouldn't have been equitably profitable for many many years. So I ended up dropping it.
Did you try raising prices to lower demand? I haven't sold anything before so I don't have any idea what I'm talking about. I'm just asking since I'm curious.
