Flagg remains traditional with several working farms. Sheep and cattle graze in meadows, and in summer farmers can be seen working well into the evening to harvest hay and silage. Twice daily the milk herds of Flagg farms can be seen trudging backwards and forwards to be milked. Driving along country lanes splattered with cow pats might be annoying, but it is acceptable in true rural villages such as Flagg ? it is the end of a farming community when fields become devoid of cows. With a chapel, nursery school, village hall and tea rooms, Flagg has a community spirit that is hard to rival amongst other hill villages in the Peak District .
