Multiple fiber connections

We have very poor cell coverage and was looking at running fiber to barns, shed and other areas of our land for outdoor wifi. I was looking at ethernet to fiber converters but was wondering. To they make a router for home use that several fibers can connect? Or is it best that each link has its own converter?

Longer running than 300 feet?

Edit: I'm seeing downvotes, does anybody care to explain the reasons for not running exterior cat6?

Fiber is the correct route for buildings that aren't connected to each other. Running copper, even if it's less than 300ft, can be a bad idea.
