Does anyone know of a module that will allow certain products to be exempt from shipping? Or if it can be done in opencart 2.0 without an added module?

In our current online store (not opencart) we sell garden seeds with a flat rate $4 shipping. We also sell worm castings which are really heavy. They are setup as shipping exempt and then the shipping is just included in the price.

If you don't need the weight to calculate anything just remove the weight and it'll be shipped for free (so to speak).

I'd also recommend using a weight-based approach like Mike suggests. Just use the built-in Weight Based Shipping, and then enter rates like this:

0.01:0, 9999:4.00

That will charge $0.00 if the cart is under 0.01, and $4.00 otherwise.

I figured out that if I mark the product that it "doesn't require shipping" and keep the flat rate for every thing else that it will do what I want it to do. I like the weight based idea though, I might try it as it might be useful for different applications.
