If you contact him just tell him you got his name from me (carolyn Keiper). he deals in small orders (not 10's of thousandths). you just have to set up an account and put your order on your credit card
Hopefully this helps you some. I honestly can't complain about their prices or what they have available. I truly can't afford to buy from most of the small catalogs after seeing his prices. I have not ordered rooted cuttings through him though.(I have a greenhouse I can drive to that sells rooted cutting.)

Thank you! That is very kind of you to share. I have heard of Grimes, from my previous work.
So today I spoke to my supplier in VA. They only sell the finished pots. She eluded to contract reasons, but they get in around 20000 plugs. They are Yoder brand.
Oddly enough... she recommended NC Farms..
for small orders.
I did some math on NC Farms vs Raker. This is all based on minimums.
Raker - $142 shipped to my door. 4 Varieties. 204 plugs. Comes out to 69 cents a plug.
NC Farms - $172 picked up. 4 Varieties. 400 plugs. Comes out to 43 cents a plug. But add in fuel cost to pickup. Probably $40 round trip. So closer to $212
Honestly, I dont need 400 plugs. Im not sure I need 200 either. But, I would rather deal with 200 then 400.
Fun times.
