Welcome to the site! Sounds like you'll enjoy it here and learn a lot! There are lots of types of edible bananas you can grow in your area (most anything actually!). As far as how to get plants started, you can separate pups (baby plants that grow off the base of other plants...directions in the forums on how to separate), or plant seeds if the banana is a seeded variety (so that's a NO for edible types....so stick to pups). Bananas can also be tissue cultured, but that's a much more complicated process you might not want to get into right off the bat. I would recommend watching the classified for plants for sale, or find some friends in the area with bananas you can get pups from. Hope that helps! ENJOY THE SITE!
