# Your Orchard

Operate your Cashu mint with Orchard: set up your instance, then tend Home, crew, settings, and the services it manages, all from one place.

Once Orchard is installed and running, these guides give you an overview of the application.
Orchard is an all-in-one manager that gives you a full view of your services
and the tools to operate them from a single dashboard.

<Aside type="note" title="Not set up yet?">
  These pages assume Orchard is already running. If you haven't
  reached that point, [install Orchard and connect your services](/install/installation/), or
  build the whole stack from scratch with the [New Mint](/new-mint/) walkthrough.
