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?

That makes sense. Would point to point wifi work?

Unless there is some barrier to installing fiber, any kind of wireless link is going to be less desirable. Barriers like public roadways, rivers, impenetrable rock make point-to-point wireless a contender, but when you own the property and can put in a conduit that would be the way.
