You need two things: a second set of Joy-Cons or a Pro Controller, and another player. On the main game screen, choose 'Co-op', 'Host', then 'Local', and have your friend select 'Co-op', 'Join', and then 'Local' from their Switch. Boom, welcome to your shared farm!
Local multiplayer? Who even does that anymore? Just use online, way easier to set up and you don't have to share your snacks.
Just use one console, folks. Stardew Valley local multiplayer on the Switch is more fun when you pass the Joy-Cons around. If you're more into each having your own screen, see the first two replies.
