Entirely possible. But hey, in a space station you could have a separate agriculture ring, it may turn out that plants grow most efficiently at some particular amount of gravity, having its own ring would let you experiment, to maximize yield. Also you can use shades and mirrors to precisely control the amount of sun the plants get, even provide them constant sun if that speeds up growth.
