CHARLESTON, W. VA. (WSAZ) -- After being in business for nearly 70 years, owners of Gunnoe Farms Sausage & Salad Company has announced the company is up for sale.

The owners announced the news in a Facebook post Saturday morning. In the post, they said they're selling the business because of a decline in the economy and several natural disasters that have taken place of the last five years, putting a huge toll on the business.

They added one of their biggest customers, Kroger, will no longer be selling several of their spreads and salads.

Below is the post from the company's Facebook:

Good morning to all my customers and friends. We received some devastating news to my company. Our jalapeno spread, egg salad, and 24 ounce potato salad, macaroni salad, and Cole slaw have all been discontinued in Kroger stores. Kroger stores have been one of our best accounts for well over 50 years! After losing everything in my coolers and freezers in June 2012, then the water crisis in Janurary 2014 when I couldn't make product, the losses have been devastating. Now the water crisis settlement is delayed again, so I can't depend on getting any of my losses paid back this year. I don't know how I'm going to survive this. We have been in business this fall for 70 years, but the business climate in West Virginia is at an all time low. People always need to eat but with less people every year, my sales have been dropping. It's heartbreaking! The fact that our salads will no longer be sold by the biggest grocery chain in my home state might just be the straw that broke the camel's back. If anyone is interested in buying a gently used, well maintained food manufacturing company please call me, because the company is now FOR SALE.
