What is this?

Basics
Is The Livable Forest a vendor market company, a social media app, or both?

Both. It’s a community platform (app + web) and I also produce vendor markets and city activations through it. Vendors get real visibility, and the community gets real-life events.

What city is this actually for? Kingwood only or all of Houston?

It started in Kingwood because I grew up here, but it covers Greater Houston. If you’re a vendor, that’s a win because you’re not limited to one neighborhood audience.

How do people find out about the markets?

We share through the community feed, event pages, and direct notifications. The platform is built for fast communication and repeated reminders.

Who is the audience?

Local shoppers who like discovering small businesses in real life, not just online. A strong portion is families and women who shop local and show up for community events.

Booking

How do I book?

Booking + eligibility
Do I need a paid membership to be a vendor?

No. Vendors only need a free account to book.

How do I book?

Book online through the vendor registration form and checkout. If your category is open, you can book immediately.

Can I book multiple events at once?

Yes. You can book one event or multiple in the same checkout.

Do you review applications or is it automatic?

Booking is automatic as long as your category has availability. Once it’s sold out, it closes.

What happens if my category is full?

If your category is full, you’ll need to choose another date or another category that fits your product line. Category limits are there to protect vendors.

Can I switch categories after I book?

If you booked the wrong category, reach out and we can correct it if space is available. If that category is full, you may need to keep the original booking.

Curation

Category limits

Why limits exist
What do you mean by category limits?

We limit how many vendors can book under the same category so the market stays curated and vendors aren’t competing against 20 people selling the same thing.

How many vendors are allowed per category?

Kingwood is curated tightly, and availability is shown during checkout in real time. If a category sells out, it closes automatically.

What if I fit into two categories?

Choose the category that best represents your main product. If you truly fit both, pick the one that matches what you plan to feature most at the event.

Are food vendors separated into types?

Yes. Food is not treated as one giant category. We separate it so you don’t have 10 of the same type of food vendor.

Day-of

Booth logistics

Setup + space
Do you assign spots or do we pick our spot?

Vendors pick their spot when they arrive. First-come, first-pick.

What time is setup?

Setup details are posted inside the Vendor Group during event week so everyone has the most accurate instructions.

Do I need to bring my own setup?

Yes. Plan to bring your tent, tables, chairs, and weights as needed.

Is electricity available?

Assume no unless it’s clearly stated for a specific event.

Is there vendor parking?

Vendor parking and load-in details are shared in the Vendor Group before each event.

Money

Fees + payments

Payments
What are booth fees?

Fees vary by event and location and are listed on the vendor page and at checkout.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. You can reserve your booth with 50% down and pay the remainder later according to the checkout terms.

When is the remaining balance due?

The remaining balance is due before your first event. The exact timing is shown during checkout.

Policies

Rules

Rain, refunds, credits
Are markets rain or shine?

Yes. All markets are rain or shine.

Do you offer refunds?

No refunds. However, if something is canceled, booth credits are available.

If I can’t make it, can I transfer to another date?

In many cases, we can apply your booth as a credit toward another event, depending on availability.

Food vendors

Permits + compliance

Food requirements
Do I need permits?

Food vendors are responsible for following local requirements. If a permit is required for a specific event, we will note it in the vendor info.

Do cottage food vendors qualify?

Yes, as long as you are operating legally under applicable rules. If an event requires additional permitting, we’ll communicate that.

Visibility

Promotion + posting

How vendors get seen
How do you promote vendors?

We highlight vendors through the community feed, group posts, and event content. Vendors can also post directly to the community.

Can vendors post in the app?

Yes. You’re encouraged to post in the feed and in the vendor group so locals know what you sell before they arrive.

Will my followers actually see my posts?

Yes. If someone follows you, your posts can reach them through notifications (push, email, and in-app if enabled). You’re not fighting an algorithm.

Do you expect vendors to promote?

Yes. When vendors share the event, it increases traffic for everyone. We’ll provide key posts and details to make it easy.

Communication

Where updates happen

All market updates, setup instructions, and last-minute changes are posted inside the Vendor Group. If you prefer desktop, that’s fine, but the app is the fastest way to receive time-sensitive info.
