“Please keep your clothes on in the sunflowers!” Farm shop asks people to stop posing topless in their fields after rising reports of ‘nude photography’
- Sunflowers symbolize the true story of the Calendar Girls
A farm shop on Hayling Island had to remind visitors that nudity is prohibited when posing for ‘naked’ photos in the sunflower crop.
People pose for nude photos and use the flowers to protect their modesty.
On Facebook, Stoke Fruit Farm wrote: ‘Remind everyone we are a family area and please keep your clothes on in the sunflowers!
“We are getting more and more reports of nude photography and please don’t allow this to happen during our public sessions.” There was a “no topless” sign at the post.
Visitor Sarah-Jane Cruddas said her young son came across a woman last Thursday wearing nothing but a skimpy thong. She wrote, “Our son had a good eye – should have seen his face!”

Sunflowers symbolize the true-life Calendar Girls about women posing nude for charity. A film adaptation was made in 2003 and starred Helen Mirren and Julie Walters.
The sunflower fields previously played host to an official charity photo shoot inspired by the film and musical, in which women pose tastefully nude to raise money for cancer.
But the farm store reminded visitors that it is a “family area” during public hours and that it must “protect what children see on our property.”
They added, “We’re open to family, which means during this time we need to keep the site in a way that’s appropriate for everyone!”
Last year, the company advertised a black bra as a lost object for collection.
The farm shop’s director, Sam Wilson, told The Sun it’s a “shame” that the joy of taking risky shots is challenged by blatant nudity in the family field.
