You may be out of luck - I don't think they're grown anywhere in North America. 
My local supermarket (Providence, RI - near Boston) has an 'exotic fruits'
section.  In it they have a bowl of tiny, wrinkled, low-grade feijoas for sale. 
The price?  US$1.99 - each.

My advice - wait till you next visit New Zealand.  Sorry!
