See description below on why these are not your average butternut squash

The goal of Adaptation gardening or farming is to allow plants to naturally and select for the survivors to essentially adapt the genetics of the plant to the land , the climate and conditions. These are not technically landrace, as this is only the second year of this development. I planted a South Ana butternut, which is already somewhat of landrace -- an amazing variety -- with several other delicious butternut squash, and one pumpkin -- an "Emerald Naked."  This pumpkin is good and sweet to it (smallish) but produces hull-less or "naked" seeds (like all the pumpkin seeds or pepitas you buy at the store.)  

Here is what happened in our garden: 

We had a major attack of early powdery mildew, followed by an infestation of squash bugs along with a barrage of vine borers. Every one of the plants died (although all but one flowered.) One of the plants made it through -- the second year South Ana that I grew the previously year with Seminole pumpkins. It not only survived, but laughed off these three attacks and grew with an incredible, unblemished vigor and yielded more than any one squash plant I had ever grown. 

These are the seeds from that. They will not all come out the same, but what a great starting off point for your squash growing adventures!
