Two businesses have been given £1,000 each to help them expand and continue delivering fresh produce.
Chichester District Council has given Farm Fresh Express, from Selham, and Petworth Butchers the money as part of its grants scheme.
Firms can apply to have half the cost of an individual project paid for by the council and the majority taking up the offer use the money to pay for web sites.
Farm Fresh Express has used the money for a web site and Petworth Butchers has bought a new cold store.
Pauline Ryder, from Farm Fresh Express, said: "It has enabled us to develop our online ordering service, which will have a positive impact on the local farmers whose produce we supply, as well as increasing our customer base."
