Orchard is an ASP.Net MVC framework based content management system. Popularly referred to as Orchard Project, it brings together a whole community of Dotnet based open source developers. This community works on the development of reusable and versatile repository of Asp.Net components.

For a long time PHP has been the uncontested leader of open source technologies. But Microsoft has stepped up the ante. The leader is facing mighty competition from some Dotnet based open source technologies. Orchard is one such CMS making waves in open source.

Orchard is an ASP.Net MVC framework based content management system. Popularly referred to as Orchard Project, it brings together a whole community of Dotnet based open source developers. This community works on the development of reusable and versatile repository of Asp.Net components.

In its early days Orchard was a common platform for Dotnet programmers to share their analysis on business hurdles caused by some components and how to overcome them. Microsoft supported this platform during initial stage through its own resources. But soon Orchard moved to community ...
... support called OuterCurve Foundation.

Birth of Orchard CMS After devoted efforts of Microsoft and OuterCurve Foundation, Orchard Project became Orchard CMS in 2010. Over the past two years Orchard has bloomed with development of several business centric and user friendly components. It has grown into a popular CMS that allows developers to:

Create communities to enhance development
Build strong reusable components
Address common programming challenges
