Hello,
While we do not provide recommendations for companies, there are a few options to consider.
Some large nurseries like Adams County in Pennsylvania and Cummins in New York can fill and ship small orders, while some others only fill large orders (I believe Stark Bros. is like this).
There are also small nurseries like Windy Rock in Manchester that are more focused on trees suited for organic or low-input production. A quick online search gives a couple more options within the range you mentioned, such as Mayhew's (Fowlerville) and Sloan Farm (Howell). You could also try a local garden center, but keep in mind that mMany garden centers that carry fruit trees don’t give you information about the rootstocks the trees are on, though there are always exceptions.
