As per Orchard's codeplex[1] page[2], the intended output of the Orchard project is three-fold:
- Individual .NET-based applications that appeal to end-users , scripters, and developers
- A set of re-usable components that makes it easy to build such applications
- A vibrant community to help define these applications and extensions

Although most of the primary developers work for Microsoft, it is not an officially supported Microsoft product, and instead falls upon the auspices of the OuterCurve Foundation.
