MEDFORD — Inside a Southern Oregon farmhouse, pears appear everywhere: a giant, pear-shaped ceiling light, pear-print wallpaper and a den dedicated to vintage pear labels. This Medford home belongs to Sue Naumes, 72, a retired grower who helped manage one of the West’s largest pear companies, Naumes Inc., for decades. The company was co-founded by her father, Joe Naumes, in 1946. “Sue’s been hugely involved in the ag community. She really only got out of the business because she had four hip replacements, and walking over dirt clods in orchards got too tough,” said Mike Naumes, Sue’s brother. Sue Naumes represents something true of many farmers: Even when retirement begins, the love of agriculture doesn’t end.
