Sound Earth, a woman owned business, in Fishkill, is celebrating 20 years in business. Owner and operator Ann LaGoy established the residential and commercial cleaning service after experiencing acute poisoning by commercial cleaning products and was inspired to help others by developing an innovative line of non-toxic, cruelty-free cleaning products that are manufactured and produced in Dutchess County.

She says, “Shop local goes deep with Sound Earth. Ingredients, packaging and business services are sourced as locally as possible. The importance of supporting local businesses resonates with many people. Farmers markets, artist coops and local tradespeople offer ample opportunity to fulfill the shop local movement.”
