Recently, in my peaceful survival world, I decided to make use of an old abandoned tunnel below my mountain home. With time, I converted this tunnel into a cave, filled it with grass, and connected it with some nearby natural caves. However, I have not actually come up with a use for the hollow. I generally do not like to have useless things on my survival world, and this cave does take up a fair amount of space. While my friend had the idea to turn it into a "batcave" and fill it with very strong armor, I do not think that this fits the style of the cave well. Do you have any ideas of what to do with this? If so, please post below.
Here are some pictures: (Please note that this is in a mountain biome. I used a texture pack to make the grass greener.)

Ideas so far:
Lemedli: Make a farm in the cave

Thanks for the suggestion! I probably will do this, but I would like to hear some other ideas as well. Also, I will list suggestions on the original post.

Thanks for the feedback! I ended up going with Lemedli's farm idea. I may or may not add glowstone, depending on how things go. My plan so far is to fill the cave with automatic farms, like a reed farm or a pumpkin/melon farm. Here is what I have so far:
This farm is based on Docm77's reed farm design, from his LP world ("The Minecraft World Tour: #52," around 9 minutes in). This is not an original design.
Thanks again!

I like the idea, and it looks cool, but why not build above ground- all the natrual features are already there for you.
The reason why I have dug this, rather than build my farms above ground, is because I have always liked grassy, underground structures. Originally, I dug the cave out of boredom, having had no good construction ideas in a long time. When it started to become something interesting, I decided to go all out and try to make it useful. I did not make the farms above ground because I started off with no intention of turning my caves into a farming complex. In hindsight, making it above ground may have been a better idea, but I think the tunnel turned out well nonetheless. Plus, it gives me a "secret underground world" feel, almost like stepping through a portal to a grassy nether.

Nice! Looks pretty cool. I would make cave-y like tunnels to other areas of the base for a sort of... hub, let's say; to get around easily and stuff. That's just me, though.
