If you are wearing a poppy chances are it was made by people with intellectual and physical disabilities.
The small Christchurch company may be a low key operation but for the dozens on the poppy production line the work is a massive part of their lives.
This time of year they are very busy, making a large share of the 1,500,000 sold around New Zealand every year.
"With Anzac Day coming up we pick up our gear and go fast," says poppy worker Daniel Forman.
Making the perfect poppy is an art - one that has been perfected for over 45 years at Kilmarnock Enterprises.
"They are very proud of what they do," says Rosmary Carr.
"They see the Prime Minister and the Governor General and other prominent people wearing them on TV and around the city, so it gives them a great deal of satisfaction," she says.
Bruce Hyland gets more satisfaction from his job than most. His father was a Royal Air Force pilot in World War Two.
"I put the poppies on Dad's coffin and flowers on Dad's coffin," says Hyland.
Almost every poppy being worn comes from this production line, something they are keen to continue doing.
At one stage there were fears the poppies would be made overseas.
"We did take action to let everybody know how important it was for disabled people to be involved, for them to be made in New Zealand too," says Carr.
And it is a tradition they want to continue for decades to come.
