When Howard Johnson's chain of eateries dotted the American roadsides, there was a giant food manufacturing and distribution system, owned by the company itself. It's main manufacturing plant was located in Brockton, Massachusetts. On the site, in various buildings, were the HJ bakery, kitchens and ice cream plant. Today, the main plant is occupied by Fairfield Farms Kitchens (FFK). Though Fairfield Farms shut down in 2006, FFK had its own line of food products, while manufacturin the popular "Howard Johnson;s Macaroni & Cheese," Howard Johnson's Toastees," "Howard Johnson's Fried Clams," and "Howard Johnson's Chicken Croquettes." Those frozen food products are sold at many supermarkets (primarily in the Northeastern U.S.). The ice cream was still made up until early 2006 in Florida at The Ice Cream Club (which also has its own line of ice cream). However, The Ice Cream Club is no longer involved with HJ Ice Cream manufacturing. The food products listed above are only available wholesale to supermarkets and HJ restaurants. Up until a few years ago, there was a company in upstate New York that made HoJo Ice Cream in retail pints and quarts. Other than the products listed above, no other original HoJo food products are manufactured. HJ retail ice cream is also no longer made. Fairfield Farms Kitchen's closed thier operations in 2006. Now, America's Kitchen of Atlanta, Georgia, has the rights to manufacture the HJ food products, licensed by La Mancha Group, LLC, successor to Franchise Associates, Inc. (FAI). La Mancha also owns the original HJ recipes.
