Dutch Country Farmers Market in Laurel (used to be in Burtonsville) has a good meat vendor and a good poultry vendor. They also have a lot of cooked foods.

I live in College Park, so I'll be checking back to this to see if anyone else has good ideas. We've been going to Laurel Meats in downtown Laurel (a few blocks off rte 1). It's a small general grocery store, but with a big meat dept. I would say that their target audience is not way upscale foodie. They can get prime grade beef, but I'm not sure if you have to order. Same with (say) veal. There are two (more?) of the upscale butcher shops in Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. One Xmas we special ordered a suckling pig from an upscale butcher over by American U (I can't remember the name, I'm sure you can google). I have visited two halal butchers in Langley Park; I think I was looking for ground lamb one time; they are specialty niche, and won't have everything you want. There's an "international grocery" (Asian and Latino) on University Blvd (more or less across from the shopper's food warehouse and old Ledo's location). They have a big and active (and inexpensive) fish counter; but you need to have a pretty clear idea of what you want.
