I would put it right here:
Tycho (crater)
Only because I am a
romantic and love making people read wikipedia articles. It takes 29.5 days to get around this big ol' marble we call the Earth and it generally the same side always faces out(you now it as the evil far side of the moon), so it wouldn't matter where you put it would a few days of light then a few days of darkness. Either way it's crummy for growing plants.
You would have to grow indoors, with aeroponics because there isn't a lot of water up there and I don't want to carry up all those cases of Evian. Other than slamming up some solar panels/batteries for electricity and a few exercise bikes for CO2 it would be pretty standard op... with moon gravity!
That was a cool thought experiment, maybe I should get my
Fungineering degree.
