Decker’s Flea Market

This place is amazing! If you can’t find it here it doesn’t exist! You can spend hours looking around. I don’t ever miss an opportunity to stop!
WARNING — When you click on the map it looks like you’re in the woods, so something isn’t right about that. Will try to up load a Google image, because you don’t want to miss this!

Decker’s is the be-​all, end-​all of flea markets. Open every weekend and Friday’s from May — October. The produce is fresh, yummy and very reasonably priced. There is a mix of the usual flea market fare but also some stores that specialize in items. One has a TON of silk flowers for all types of arrangements and they are the best prices around for cemetary decorations or spiffing up elsewhere. Another already mentioned the frames and they are nice. All sorts of flea market/​county fair foodie items. I’ve been going for years and always see something I haven’t seen before.

Decker’s flea market is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for a fun and unique item for a gift or for a decorator piece for your home. The local produce is amazing, the prices are reasonable, the items are varied, and the boiled peanuts are fresh. Decker’s flea market is exactly what you want from a flea and well worth the visit. My grandparents used to take us every week to the Flea and then to Decker’s restaurant in Unaka and it was always such a fun time, one that I’ve continued when I travel to the area.

Ooooh goodness, this place is a mecca for all types of folks each and every weekend, and one of my favorite people watching places of all time.
I’ve been to Decker’s a lot and somehow it doesn’t get old. The vendors don’t really change their products, but yet I’m always looking for some great find that I haven’t seen before. It’s pretty large and has a mix of shops both inside and outside. In the winter, Franklin stoves are used to heat the place, and there’s no air conditioning in the summer, but that’s part of the charm.
My favorite things to shop for here are produce (local and so cheap it’s not even funny), local jams/​honey, cookbooks, books in general, and picture frames — there’s this one shop owner who makes awesome frames from all types of wood. Other things you can find include antique dental tools that make my dentist sister squirm, puppies, typical fare from a dollar store, and lots of confederate flags. Believe me, you have not seen Murphy until you have seen Decker’s.
