i was reading about this company that caters to the nuclear zombie apocalypse fearing crowd, and i checked out their site. they sell kits with various seeds that they claim are all 100% non-gmo heirloom seeds.

i've probably never had a non-frankenstein vegetable if i had to guess, so i wondered if any of you do this.

I have grown heirloom plants from seed (corn and tomatoes). Generally they don't do nearly as well as hybrids. Hybrids are GMO the old fashioned way: cross breeding. Have given up on heirloom varieties aside from the occasional experiment. Have never seen a GMO seed or plant for a vegetable garden other than hybrids - don't think they exist or are sold. One disadvantage of hybrids is that seeds from them beyond the first generation have a low germination rate and plants revert back to the breeding stock, so it is hard to keep going indefinitely in apocalypse mode.

When I eventually get a house, I want to setup an awesome aquaponics system for herbs and vegetables. It'd be really cool.

You could do that without a house. Getting a house (that presumably has a yard) allows you to grow shit.
