There is a place in Laurel (listed in the Yellow Pages in Bakery Supplies) that
sells retail a couple days of the week.  You have to call, their hours are kind
of strange.  I have bulk purchased yeast (one pound about two-three dollars) and
50# bags of bread flour. I think that they also carry whole wheat - not sure
about stone ground.

Fresh Fields just discontinued their self serve bulk foods - that was my source
for whole wheat pastry flour, rye flour and organic flours.  There is a Seventh
Day Adventist store on New Hampshire some where in the northern part of Silver
Spring that is reputed to carry organic foods and a good supply of veg entrees. 
If I can track down a name I will post it.
