The Orchard () is a
New York City based
digital distribution and entertainment services company that works with independent
bands. The company was started in
1997 by
Richard Gottehrer and
Scott Cohen.
It focuses on distribution of digitized music, video, and new media to online music retailers, advertising firms, and music and film agencies, and caters to numerous well-known independent artists and labels such as
