There are several types of buildings you can add to your farm. Some are simple quality life enhancements, others enable you to raise animals. Each building has a footprint using up area on your farm which could be used for other things.
Coop
Footprint: 3x6
Initial cost:
4000g
Wood x300
Stone x100
Coops allow you to keep chickens and other small animals. The base level coop can hold 4 animals. At first, only chickens are available from Marnie, but you can unlock others by upgrading the coop.
Barn
Footprint: 4x7
Initial cost:
6000g
Wood x350
Stone x150
Barns allow you to keep cows and other large animals. The base level barn can hold 4 animals. At first, only cows will be available from Marnie, but you can unlock others by upgrading the barn.
Well
Footprint: 3x3
Cost:
1000g
Stone x75
This is a quality of life upgrade which allows you to fill your watering can at additional location, since at the start of the game it can only be done from a pond.
Silo
Footprint: 3x3
Cost:
100g
Stone x100
Clay x10
Copper Bar x5
A Silo allows you to store animal food (in other words Hay). Animals can't graze in the winter, and prefer to stay inside in winter, so it's a good idea to keep Hay available for them, and to build a silo before getting any animals. A Silo holds up to 240 pieces of hay.
Mill
Footprint: 2x4
Cost:
2500g
Wood x150
Stone x50
Cloth x4
A windmill allows you to process certain foods:
Wheat to Flour
Unmilled Rice to Rice
Beet to Sugar x3
Shed
Footprint: 3x7
Initial cost:
15000g
Wood x300
You can use a shed to store various equipment, for example Kegs, while they are processing raw materials into other products. The interior of the Shed is 9 by 11, so it can place many more pieces of equipment inside than you'd be able to place in the 3 by 7 area of land that the shed uses up. The capacity is reduced somewhat by the need to have paths so you can reach all the equipment.
Fish Pond
Footprint: 6x6
Cost:
5000g
Stone x200
Seaweed x5
Green Algae x5
Stock this with fish and you can later fish from the pond for more fish.

Stable
Footprint: 2x4
Cost:
10000g
Hardwood x100
Iron Bar x5
Building this will give you a horse which you can ride around the valley. This allows you to travel much faster than on foot.
Slime Hutch
Footprint: 6x11
Cost:
10000g
Stone x500
Refined Quartz x10
Iridium Bar
You can raise your own Slimes in this building, just like the game Slime Rancher. Note, just like slimes found in the mines, slimes in the Slime Hutch are hostile, though wearing a certain ring will tame them. The slime hutch contains four water buckets on the east side of the room; fill them with water to produce Slime Balls. This is an ideal place to place an egg incubator.
Shipping Bin
Footprint: 1x2
Cost:
250g
Wood x150
Place this on your farm for an additional location to place your items to be shipped. This is another shipping bin in addition to the shipping bin that's right next to your farmhouse.
