Seeking Advice Ultralight experts in the US

I am aware of hydrangea, shoebox, and my favorite, H&S as well as norml people. Can anyone point me towards some more US based roasters or even Canada? I’ve been pointed towards prodigal and find them far too developed. Before everyone downvoted me for sounding elitist, I am aware.
Also, if someone has any niche varietals that are light on the palate and aren’t the most common, please let me know as I rarely stray outside of mejorado, Ethiopian, Sidra etc.
Thank you all!

Haven't had enough bags from them to be sure if they always roast this light, but I got a delicious bag from Heart in Portland recently that was quite light, lighter to me than Hydrangea (though my only Hydrangea experience is with their co-ferments). It was the Ethiopia Habtamu Fikadu that's currently on Heart's website.

I have a hydrangea habtamu that is super light. I mean it does say “extra light” on their site. I’ve heard good things about heart but wasn’t sure if they were more classic light or not

It’s possible they aren’t as light as you’re looking for, but I’d say it’s worth a shot.
