My friend Mehr Fardoonji, who has died aged 95, spent 60 years developing and running the Oakcroft organic market garden in Cheshire, one of the earliest farms to be registered with the Soil Association.
She made her living selling the fruit and vegetables she grew there, while supplementing her income for many years as a yoga teacher. An early participant in the British yoga revolution, she collaborated with June Johns on her book Practical Yoga, published in 1974.
