The orchard is an alternative to farms, but with a lot fewer options. The primary use of orchards is log production where there is no forests. Apart from that, orchards are mostly unused since farms can produce everything the orchard can.
Orchards are one of the five buildings citizens can live in, the other four building types are Houses, Farms, Apartments, and Condominiums,.
Homes
Each orchard makes one job plus one per level and furthermore each level provides space for 2 citizens to live. This means a 2 level Orchard supplies 4 citizens, or 3 productive citizens with one citizen as a janitor, 2 usually working the orchard (productive) and one left for other jobs.
If you build your orchard to its max height, you can refer to this table to see how many citizens you will get.

Environment or Irrigation
Each item produced by orchards have the option of using resources from the environment or artificial resources.
