Is it possible to grow vegetation and fruit with artificial sunlight?

I'm curious to think if technology can be implemented to reproduce artificial sunlight and can have some or all attributes of actual solar energy, can it be used to grow vegetation and fruit? Is this invention out yet or is it just a far stretch of the imagination?

Do we have this technology at this time? (And I'm not talking about flash lights, lamps, or solar panels)
I do understand that the sun is free and it gives off free energy without charge. And I wouldn't mind spending a few bucks on some bulbs to produce this effect, but I wouldn't also spend more than what is actually needed.

But I would be curious to know if these kind of inventions get more advanced with progression, it may be used for application purposes. If say, some environments don't get enough sunlight to even grow vegetation.
